Over the weekend of Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th June, Great Ashby Community Centre will be the main venue for the forthcoming Great Ashby Festival.
Saturday 18th June
On Saturday afternoon everything kicks off with the Great Ashby Festival Fun Day. From 12pm until 3pm there will be stalls and lots of free activities for everyone to enjoy across the neighbourhood centre including the Community Centre, Round Diamond School and Busy Bees Nursery.
On display in the Community Centre will be the entrants for the Great Ashby Bake Off.
A full run down of what’s on is in the Festival Programme – see the centre pages of the latest edition of Gasbag, which will be dropping through your letterbox this week or download it here : Great Ashby Festival Programme
On Saturday evening, the Community Centre will be playing host to Great Ashby Unplugged, a free evening of live music from local musicians. Lamberts will be cooking their gourmet burgers from the Community Centre kitchen and Circles Cafe Bar will be running a bottle bar selling beer, wine and soft drinks.
Sunday 19th June
Sunday starts with the best way we know how – a Full English breakfast! Come along to the Great Ashby Community Breakfast from 9am until 11am at the Community Centre. It’s Fathers Day too, so why not treat Dad to a full fry-up, or if he prefers, a Continental breakfast. There will be Fathers Day crafts to keep the kids happy and the Sunday papers to peruse.
Tickets must be pre-purchased so we know how many people to cater for. Tickets are available for the Community Centre office Monday to Friday 7:30am to 1pm or will be available to buy at the Festival Fun Day.
Prices : Adults £4.00 Children 10 and under £2.50
Our final event of the festival is the Great Ashby Cream Tea. From 2:30pm until 4:30pm the Community Centre will be serving homemade scones, cream and homemade jam along with a range of cakes and tea and coffee. The Cotter School of Irish Dancing will be making an appearance during the event too.
