Abbeyfield Park Multicultural Festival on the 7th July, was a relaxed community event, describe by one resident as, “So good, no one wanted to go home.”
The Festival was full of…bongos, ice creams, jerk chicken, henna, MC Nige, belly dancers, sunshine, sound systems, scouts, tombolas, tea and cake, steel drummers, Shiloh church Choir, face-painting, clothes stalls, health activities, Romana Jilo dancers, community groups, the Rock Christian Centre, barbecue, cold drinks, arts and crafts, tight-rope walking, balloon art, patties … and sunshine!
A massive effort went in to organising the festival, according to co-ordinators Richard Belbin, Bilal Khan and Jon Watts and they wanted to thank everyone who helped on the day.
