Calling all entertainers…..

Calling all entertainers, choirs, dance groups, bands, orchestras, solo artists, drama groups or comedians.

Have you ever wanted to perform on stage to a large audience? Now is your chance!

Callington Festival Week has just received a massive boost from the Big Lottery Fund. Callington Town Forum has been successful in receiving grant funding in excess of £8000, for a big finish to our Gala Week festivities. The idea is to provide a large marquee and associated service marquees for a performance venue in Callington. The event named “THE KELLIWIK FESTIVAL” will take place from about 1pm on Friday the 11th of July and will finish on the evening of Sunday the 13th.  Entrance to the festival will be free for everyone. There will also be a free bouncy castle!

The event will take place on the main recreation ground in Saltash Road. There will be a staged area and room for several hundred spectators inside the Main marquee. There will be sound engineers on site with all necessary equipment as well as generators and lighting. There will be first aid cover for the whole weekend.

The Town Forum has provided the venue.  We are now calling on the people of the Town and surrounding areas to make this a success.  We need performers to fill the weekend with family entertainment.  We need service providers to provide food outlets. We will need stewards and volunteers to help with security and other roles for the venue.

Further details of the event and its programme will be released over the next two months.

If you are able to offer support or entertainment for this event we need to know as soon as possible. Please contact Maureen on 01579 362516 or email kelliwik@siloam.co.uk to put your names on the list. Get your names in quickly as performance slots will be limited.

More details are on our information website https://sites.google.com/site/kelliwikfestival/home, or just Google Kelliwik Festival.

We look forward to an exciting event……………..watch this space!
