Durrington Festival

Introduction

The Durrington Festival has been promoting the community of Durrington since 1992. The purposes of the Festival are still the same today, and can be summarised as follows:

• To promote the community of Durrington and all that is good about living and working in Durrington.
• To give individuals, groups, organisations and businesses from Durrington an opportunity to go out into the community and promote and raise awareness of what they do
• To bring the community together in a common celebration
• To give people the opportunity to meet with others and make new friends.

The Festival consists of a week of events giving groups, organisations, businesses and the like the opportunity to promote themselves and what they do. In many cases these can be events which take place all through the year. But Festival Week gives the opportunity for any events to be publicised to a wider audience, hopefully giving people the incentive to get involved in what is going on within and around their community.

The week all leads up to ‘Durrington’s Big Day’ on Saturday 9^th June 2012 with the Village Fayre on Pond Lane Park, with almost 100 pitches ranging from amusements to promotional sites and of course the many charity stalls raising money for their own good causes, together with the fairground which will be on site throughout. The Carnival Procession will weave its way from Romany Road to the Park and the day will end with a Grand Firework Display to provide a fitting finale to both the day and Festival week.

What we hope you get out of our web site?

First of all we hope it informs you about key dates for this annual event and how you can get involved as a sponsor, stall holder, performer or visitor.

We intend to develop a web site that will make our visitors proud to be associated with the community that is Durrington.

Lastly, we want you to make some firm dates in your diary to attend what has been described as one of the best community festivals in Sussex.
