Are we ready for a Festival?
Village Edition
Hadleigh is a great community to be part of, isn’t it? How lucky we are to live here, especially in this crazy, uncertain world. We can go for a walk along the river, the Railway Walk, up Constitutional Hill or through Wolves Wood to see the beauty of nature. We can enjoy the Christmas Market and feel part of something bigger than ourselves. At HEAT (Hadleigh Environmental Action Team), we think it’s time Hadleigh came together ÖÜÖÞã ÖãÙ ìÚąÙ áÞàÚ éä ØÚáÚ×çÖéÚ éÝÚ áäëÚáî ÍÞëÚç ½çÚéé éÝÖé Ĝäìè éÝçäêÜÝ äêç éäìã ìÞéÝ Ö river festival. All festivals need to be fun and get everyone involved, so this will be a festival for the whole of Hadleigh, and especially for children, young people and families. We’re also thinking of all the people on our new estates. There’s a lot to organise, so it won’t be until the summer of 2027, with events leading up to a weekend carnival and fun activities. The kinds of things people are suggesting include games, puppet making, theatre performances, music, singing and dancing, painting and photography exhibitions, poetry workshops and essay competitions. We also plan to hold volunteer sessions to look after the river and its banks, nature walks, talks and displays on the history and ecology of the river and town, and talks by national experts. Hopefully, Hadleigh sports clubs will join in and organise some games too. There’s no shortage of ideas. There’s lots to think about, lots of decisions to make, and lots of people, groups and organisations to get on board. With your help, we are Continues overleaf
