Thatcham Festival

Saturday 8th October – Sunday 16th October

Thatcham Mayor, Cllr. Lee Dillon, accompanied by Town Councillors will open the 11th Thatcham Festival of Arts & Leisure on the Broadway Green. This year there are over 60 activities for people to enjoy over 9 days.

The Launch Day includes a Food Fair in the Parish Hall with local companies hosting demonstrations including Delicious Dial A Cake at 11.30, The Pampered Chef at 12.30 and Papadam Express at 1.30.

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.

The issue with our maps has now been resolved. At some point over this weekend we will also be updating the main map to make it easier to use. Rather than showing each event as a seperate marker, many of which use the same locations, we will show markers of each location. When you click on a marker it will show you the events taking place at that marker.
