 | Belmont Festival ****** FREE ENTRY ****** |
Why are we
running the Festival? The event will attract residents from all over the south of the London Borough of Sutton. The Festival is run totally by volunteers and all profits will be donated to charity. As well as providing families with a great time, the Festival also supports over 10 charities who will each benefit from the event. In addition, the event also makes a priority of supporting local businesses and many of the local Belmont shops will be open to showcase their wares and promote the Village as a vibrant local shopping centre. The Belmont Festival is supported by the local community and traders, run by volunteers to raise money for local charities and is free for everyone to come and have fun. It is a truly Win Win Win event! So what is
the Festival? There will be around 100 market and fun stalls, traditional fairground rides, bouncy castle, slide, live music, Punch & Judy shows, clown shows and much, much more. This year we will again feature our “FoodFest” which features a variety of food outlets where you can buy your lunch, a snack, a sweet dessert or enjoy tea and home-made cakes!! Come for Lunch and Stay for Fun! The Festival is a wonderful day out with something for the whole family! When does it start? The rousing Gary Mason drummers will lead the opening parade followed by the Mayor of Sutton. They will process through the Festival area to the main stage. Whats On? On the Main Stage we have a spectacular
line-up of live entertainment compered throughout the day by Radio Marsden. The live acts featured on stage include choirs
and bands from several of our local schools. Alternatively, you can chill out in the Church's Tea Room and enjoy delicious, fresh, home baked cakes with a cuppa, while being entertained by talented local musicians who will be playing gentle relaxing music for your enjoyment. Especially for the children, we have the Kiddies Arena where there will be Punch & Judy Shows and Clown Entertainment throughout the afternoon. All guaranteed to bring smiles to their faces. Market Stalls – The road through the centre of Belmont village will feature a stupendous Street Market where shopaholics can delight in browsing the many market stalls offering a wide variety of products for all ages at affordable prices. Fun Stalls and rides - In the Park, there are numerous Fun Stalls where revellers of all ages can try their hand to win a prize. There are also several Pocket-Money Stalls around the event where younger guests can choose a favoured toy! Or why not enjoy the traditional fairground rides, sliding down the Mega Slide or bouncing on the Castle!! The ever popular plate smashing stall returns offering endless therapeutic satisfaction. We also have a Fire Engine and a spectacular Army vehicle for children (and Dads) to crawl over. Sorry we can’t tell you any more because its Top Secret! Can I get something to eat and drink?
