Hello & welcome to the Thatcham Festival of arts and leisure website.

 

About 2011

Welcome to the eleventh Thatcham Festival of Arts and Leisure! Each year we try to bring something new to the Festival and for 2011 there will be a roller skating disco on the first Saturday and a fashion show on Tuesday. Many firm favourites have been included including the Festival art exhibition, historical talks, concerts, dance classes and taster sessions. This year a number of activities that have been absent from the programme for a few years will make a return including the Kids Craft event which will be held on the final Sunday. Dawn Saunders from Delicious Dial a Cake will be hosting a number of cake decorating classes on Tuesday and the final Saturday.

Thatcham Festival of Arts & Leisure 2010

The 10th annual Thatcham Festival of Arts & Leisure was a huge success. Thousands of people attended over 70 events in 9 days, they enjoyed Fairtrade refreshments at most of the venues and through donations raised over £800 for the Thatcham Town Mayor’s charity, The Friends of the Charles Clore Unit at West Berkshire Community Hospital, and more money is coming in.
