We're looking for some support for the Carshalton Festival - a week long event from 5th until 12th June to showcase the rich cultural diversity in our town. This is the first of what we hope will become an annual event with performances, exhibitions and activities for all. We are planning bands in most pubs, as well as bars and restaurants. Art workshops, spoken word events, dancing, all around the village. Classical concerts in All Saints Church. Exhibitions, parades, installations and an amazing camera obscure experience.
All free!
Having spoken to local people we're convinced this can be a success and although we were unsuccessful in obtaining Arts Council funding we believe we can raise funding in other ways to make this festival "as free as possible" for people to attend.
Would you be willing to donate £5 or more so we can keep the festival free? You can of course help with larger donations.
Please spread the word, and by doing so, spread the love for Carshalton Festival.
Please have a look at our website (www.carshaltonfestival.com) to see what is being planned. It is ambitious and we believe the Carshalton community can help make this happen.
* Carshalton Festival is run on a not-for-profit basis. Any surplus funds will be carried forward to next year, or in the event that the Festival does not continue, surplus funds will be given to local cultural groups.
