FESTIVAL fever will come to Stockton Health for four days in July as organisers promise a jam-packed weekend of entertainment at this year’s event.
Over seventy pitches have already been sold for the giant farmers market and craft fair which runs throughout the two main days of the festival on Saturday July 10 and Sunday July 11.
Youngsters can enjoy Jo Jingles, a mad hatter’s tea party or try out a climbing wall, organised by the scouts. Competitions will also run all weekend, including a fun dog show.
Families are reminded to wrap up warm to watch the film ‘Up’ when it is screened in the open air on Friday July 9. It was chosen pupils at Bridgewater High School, shoppers and traders in a poll.
Other shows include ‘Comedy Night’ at The Cape and Alan Bennett’s ‘Talking Heads’ at the Methodist Hall. Dr Jazz and the Cheshire Cats, The Fairy (Geneva) Brass Band and CODYS will all play concerts in the Big Marquee on Mill Lane Field.
DJ Pete Pinnington will be at on Mill Lane Field on Saturday July 10 until 2pm.
Shopkeepers will kick start the occasion early with a scarecrow competition, starting on July 5. Villagers will be asked to vote for the favourite using ballot boxes in Sainsbury’s, The Coop and the Post Office.
A full programme for the Festival will be delivered through resident’s doors during the first week of June.
