Crowthorne Carnival

The Flower Festival, kindly sponsored by the Crowthorne Eye, is this year raising money for Daisy's Dream, a charity supporting bereaved children and their families in Berkshire. The Festival is once again being held at St John's Parish Church, and this year's theme is "Fun & Festivals".

Throughout the weekend there will be musical interludes, an exhibition by Wokingham Embroiderer's Guild, Crowthorne Crafts patchwork/quilting display, and demonstrations by the North Downs Lacemakers. The Saturday will also feature children's flower arranging between 2-4pm.

At Hatch Ride Primary School, by popular request, the return of the Carnival Dance.

Barn Dances are one of the most enjoyable ways to have a good old dance. No disco music, no reggae, just a real live music group "Random Assortment" playing for you; music guaranteed to get your foot tapping.

Get together a group of friends and relatives, or simply come on your own, to join in an evening of huge fun. A fish & chip supper is included and there is a pay bar. Tickets are on sale now from Bewitched (174 Dukes Ride) and Whimsical (High Street).
