Found property - a blue and white sunhat.

Lost property - two folding camping chairs. If your cupboard has suddenly sprouted two extra ones let me know.

Compare this with other events - remarkable lack of detritus!!

The wristbands are off, and the banners are down, and all vestiges of Feltonbury2024 have returned from whence they came - which means? Feltonbury2025 is already being planned!! Seriously!!

Photos soon, but what an amazing weekend - the Friday night worked well, so that's 'in' for next year, new and reconfigured venues worked incredibly well - and what an outstanding array of poetry, dance and music - all supported by state of the art PA. The volunteers are our 'Hello to Feltonbury faces' and welcome everyone to this community-focused event. Catering and drinks of all styles to suit all tastes. An incredible achievement for a village that 'punches way above its weight'.

And attendance by a community that knows how to enjoy itself - the buzz and the vibe were evident throughout the day.

Thank you all. Neal

Plan your Feltonbury

Friday evening - 6pm - 10pm - 'Poo-Bag Fairies', 'Meantime', 'The Tinstones' and 'Jackdaw' - a great,and rocking, way to start Feltonbury2024.

Saturday morning - 11am onwards - Grab you car parking slot and enjoy a coffee/cake at 'The Pant House', 'Gallery 45 Courtyard' or 'Felton Village Hall' whilst giving your support to 'The Noterries', 'Stockbridge Rendezvous', 'Ann Porro', 'David Roe' and 'Tom O'Donnell' who've 'all got out their beds early' to 'open' a full day's music and poetry entertainment.

Not long afterwards, venues at 'Gallery 45 - Long Room', 'The Pant House' and '29, Main Street garden' open up with some more excellent performers. Next up is 'The Bridge' venue with a chance to enjoy the music whilst perusing the 'Arts On The Bridge' exhibition.

At some day make sure that you visit Feltonbury's new venue at 29, Main Street - be assured it will be worth your while doing so!! Don't say that you weren't told!!

A bigger and better 'line-up' this year - so, don't miss out on any part of it. A number of the acts are able to do two slots, so plan ahead and organise when and where you'll be.
