Opportunity to try something new!

There is a lot going on in our village of Winsham.

Whether you are  new residents or long-established, come along to the festival events, meet people and find out about the many interest groups that Winsham has to offer.

The festival is a new event celebrating and supporting the people, talents, skills, and interests of Winsham and its parish.

Our aim is also to bring together different age groups while making participation as accessible and affordable as possible.

Admission to most events is free, but not all, as some events may need to charge  to meet catering costs, or need to promote a raffle, charge for drinks or suggest a voluntary contribution towards expenses incurred in staging an event. 

To help with costs, the Jubilee Hall Management Committee has reduced its hire charges to all festival event organisers using the hall's facilities.

The full programme of nearly thirty events will be found below, promoted around the village, and in the Joint Parish Magazine. and using its own festival Facebook page.
