Now that most restrictions are easing, it is looking hopeful that we will be able to run our Community Festival in some form or other this year. Of course, this has been a tricky year and it has not been possible to plan anything with any real degree of certainty. However, we have managed to put together a provisional program where possible, so that if it proves possible to hold the Festival in some way, then we are at least prepared.
With all the infection and fatality statistics going down the government have brought the guideline for social distancing down to “one metre plus” with pubs, hotels etc. allowed to open.
Along with this, now that halls and other facilities will be able to open, everybody is becoming aware of the term ‘Covid secure’, so there seems good reason to hope that most of the events foreseen for our festival will be able to go ahead with suitable safety precautions.
Events are therefore listed on the basis that we hope these activities will happen but please be aware that they may not as things could change back at any time.
We will update the Festival website at www.sheffordcommunityfestival.co.uk and continue to notify through the local press and social media (see Facebook for ‘Shefford Local’ and ‘Shefford Community Festival’). There are a number of people considering if they can run events and there are some events that ran very successfully last year for which we do not yet have information on for 2020 – we hope to hear more soon and will update and release the program accordingly.
This year we have extended the Festival forward to Friday 18th so as to include a couple of important local event organisers – we wish them both luck and hope they will be able to raise the curtain on a successful Festival.
Naturally, if you would like anything included in the program then please contact me on email address above.
