Important Event Announcement
Spring Festival is being Postponed.

With a horrible weather forecast for this weekend; winds are going to be at a constant +20mph and with gusts over 40mph; this does not bode well for an enjoyable and a successfully delivered event, meaning we have taken the hard decision to postpone the event and deliver it on a new date of the 4th May.

A new event has been created, which is below with all details about the event being the same.
https://www.facebook.com/share/5GRenfgJRVh1PJsH/?mibextid=9l3rBW

It’s not a decision we like to make but for the safety and enjoyment for all participating and visiting it’s the right one to make.

If you’re a stall holder and would like to attend them please register at https://bit.ly/3UyFPMA where the team will look after you.

We look forward to seeing you over the May Bank Holiday Weekend at the Smile Emporium Spring Festival.
