Our organisation plans an annual community festival for 9 days providing 100+ activities to suit different ages, creed and ability. It encourages volunteers to help with these events and attracts visitors to our area. It raises funds in the form of donations, sponsorship, grants, sale of programmes & membership fees. We encourage all our local
businesses and clubs to contribute to our festival and discourage outside traders. Other smaller events are organised throughout the year such as Craft Fairs, Candlelight service and Late Night Shopping event, to promote local businesses and encourage the community to shop local and work together.
