Hopefully we can get this going for next year 🙏

As suspected it looks like we are definitely on for a 2021 Offenham Festival but let's get planning to make it one to remember. ❤

Government’s chief medical officer says return to normal in short term is ‘wholly unrealistic’

If anyone would like to help plan an Offenham Festival to celebrate the end of lockdown once it is absolutely safe to do so, then please add people and share, and let me know if you would like to be an admin.

So far I have a quote for a big marquee for bands, we have a stage, we have a rig, we have some bands, we have a DJ and possibly a hog roast, a kids' disco and activities all volunteered (apart from the marquee but leave that with me I have a plan for paying for that).

Obviously we have no idea when we can do this but if we have a plan it will be easier to execute.

We will not do this until it is totally safe to do so obviously.

Welcome to Offenham Festival 2020 (or possibly 2021 if need be) ❤

Come and join us for the second Offenham Family Festival on the 19th August.

We have some really great stuff planned for you this year.

Naturally we will have a stage where you can hear great local musicians from midday all the way through to 11pm. The difference this year is that it will be housed in a lovely big marquee so the weather can't spoil it! We are hoping for some good weather though so all the sides can be opened up to make it a great outdoor event.

Also snugly under cover in another dedicated marquee there will be our craft stalls selling various gorgeous handcrafted things. This marquee has been kindly sponsored by Crafters Companion who are soon to open a fabulous store at The Valley. They will also have a stall where you can try your hand at some really great crafts.

We also have a marquee for the little ones which will have activities going on all through out the day including crafts, gardening courtesy of Little Acorns from The Valley, dance classes and much much more.

On the field we have some brilliant bouncy castles and inflatable slide from JDP Leisure, as well as Rainforest Creatures, and traditional fairground games to name just a few.

We are lucky to have The Arden Pig Company providing a hogroast, burger and veggie burgers again this year, and if you fancy something a bit sweeter there will be Alex Lindley with his marvellous traditional sweets and Lisa Smith Cakes with a great selection of cupcakes and delicious treats.

We are also looking forward to Retro Lily coming with a beautiful retro icecream van complete with al fresco café, popcorn and candyfloss.

There will also be a raffle with some amazing prizes again this year. Tickets will be going on sale prior to the festival so keep your eyes peeled for updates.

The bar will be offering some great special offers as well as all the usual beers, wines, spirits and soft drinks.

The event is free entry with free parking on the recreation ground.

Please like the page to keep up to date with raffle prizes and attractions.

Thank you all for supporting us last year despite the weather, we hope that this year we can make it a day to remember.

If there are any local bands that would like to speak to the stage manager please send a private message.

Also crafters, we still have a few spaces left so let me know if you are interested.

Sorry that this has been a long time coming but we have finally got the total for money raised at Offenham Family Festival 2016!

Despite the weather and a fair amount of start up costs we managed to raise just over £1,150 profit for the Village Hall!

Thank you to everyone who helped make it a success! So many people gave their time, expertise, equipment, sponsorship and support.

Roll on next year! :)

Hi everyone

I am afraid the committee meeting tonight is cancelled due to illness.

We will arrange a new date ASAP and keep you posted.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Many thanks

Don't forget I have a collection of fabulous artwork from the kid's Arts & Crafts room if anyone would like to collect their masterpieces.

Unfortunately I can only keep them until 01/09/16 as I have limited space.

Please message me on here if you would like me to keep hold of yours.

There are still prizes to be collected too so I will be in touch by the end of the week if your child has won something. :) ###

Does anybody know Veronica Cowley? She has won a raffle prize but the telephone number is wrong. :(

If anyone has any photos of the event we would love to see them. :)

Thank you all for coming along and making it such a great day yesterday!

I will be contacting winners of raffle prizes, skittles prizes and art prizes on Monday.

If you left a work of art to dry in the Arts & Crafts room and would like to collect it please send me a message.

Thank you again to all the stall holders, musicians, volunteers, helpers and of course everyone who braved the elements to make it such a success!

We will let you know how much we raised for the Village Hall once the final sums have been done!
