When the Parish Council team started planning the Coronation Festival we were unaware of just how many people would need to get involved to make the event enjoyable for all ages, in a safe environment and at an affordable cost.
Apart from the music acts, staging and sound company, food vendors and St John Ambulance staff everyone gave up their time willingly and voluntarily. We are so fortunate to live in a caring and giving community. We would like to thank all individuals and organisations involved.
