That’s right – it’s not too early to plan for September 2025 – in fact it is the ideal time to brain storm for ideas – with Shefford growing fast all the time and so many new families looking for local activities – the Community Festival is the ideal place to look.
The form of the Festival is well established with a High Street opening ceremony followed by nine days of local events and activities all organised by local individuals or organisations – from the Street food and the Market to singing classes and meditation. Our art groups and the amateur radio people gave us some really interesting things to do this year – so what could we look forward to next year?
How about we all give a thought to it now so we can gather support and arrange a venue – would you like to run a book club ( do you already do so?) – what about a quilting circle or a fabric dying group? Would anybody like to invite enthusiasts to their shed for a tea and woodworking session? Is there a car group or bike club that could meet that week – maybe have a festival ride out?
If you have an idea but don’t have a venue please contact me – maybe I can put you in touch with a venue that is looking to run an event? Shefford has a number of community focused indoor spaces and organisations who would love to host a new activity – maybe even for free!
