Since Its Origins in 1992, the Durrington Festival Has Always Been an Event for the People

Dear Gillian

Since its origins in 1992, the Durrington Festival has always been an event for the people and community of Durrington and the surrounding area. The 2013 event was a huge success and once again a wonderful reflection of the community as a whole, and is we feel, a true reflection of what Durrington is really all about. The Durrington Festival Committee would like to thank you for your support during the 2013 event.

We have already started to plan for the 2014 Festival, which will run from 1st to 7th June. The Festival will follow the usual pattern with a week of events giving groups, organisations, schools, businesses etc the opportunity to promote themselves and what they do. In many cases these can be events which take place all through the year, but Festival week gives the opportunity for any events etc to be publicised to a wider audience, hopefully giving people the incentive to get involved in what is going on within and around their community.

The week all leads up to ‘Durrington’s Big Day’ on Saturday 7th June with the Village Fayre on Pond Lane Park, with almost 100 pitches ranging from amusements to promotional sites and of course the many Charity stalls raising money for their own good causes, together with the fairground which will be on site throughout. The Carnival Procession will weave its way from Romany Road to the Park and once again a free evening concert is planned to provide a fitting finale to both the day and Festival week.

Due to the huge success of last year’s Festival, we would like to give you the opportunity to register your interest for this year in advance. In order therefore to ensure that our records are up to date, we would be grateful if you would spare a few minutes of your time to complete the details attached. Please use block capitals and delete where applicable. As always the allocation of plots at the Village Fayre will be strictly on a first come first served basis.

This year’s Festival’s theme is “Do You Remember”. If you have any ideas or suggestions, then we would be more than happy to hear them. Thank you once again for your support and we look forward to working with you again this year.

Yours Sincerely

Durrington Festival Committee.
