We are delighted to welcome the popular monthly Community Market to the Festival again this year. The market will run from 9.00 to 1.00 on Saturday 13 September with up to 33 stalls running on sites running from Pamoli Square next to Morrisons and into the High Street.
The market is a regular event in Shefford on the second Saturday of every month offering a diverse mix of products including consumables, crafts and local community fundraisers/awareness stalls. See here for details of the market.
The Shefford Community Festival runs from the 12th to 21st of September and on the evening of the twelfth the hall’s Annual General Meeting will take place with refreshments at 7pm and the meeting itself starting at 7.30pm.
Please come along and voice your opinions as the Trustees need your input (and those of your group’s members) as to how the hall is managed and what improvements could be made.
The hall’s management committee needs some new blood to help keep the hall running smoothly, so if you would be interested in joining the committee please contact the Chairman, Richard Ford at [email protected] or just come along to the AGM. Committee meetings are normally once every three months and held where possible at a time of day that accommodates all members.
