To celebrate the 25 year history of the festival, this year’s theme is: “All Things Silver”. A children’s dress up competition and prizes for the most creative silver outfit will be given on the day. Stay tuned to your local news outlets for more details on these events closer to Easter.
• Craftspeople who are able to demonstrate on the day and street performers are especially asked to join in the 25th anniversary fun. The festival committee can offer a small fee to cover expenses and a free stall to local craftspeople and demonstrators. Street performers such as stilt walkers, clowns or jugglers will be paid for their contribution to the colours and festivities of the day.
