Henleaze Festival 2017
Wednesday December 6th From 4PM - More information coming soon!
Welcome
Welcome to our 9th Henleaze Christmas Festival. The organising committee hope you have an enjoyable evening. I would like to thank everyone for their support over the past few months. Thanks also go to the local businesses who have generously donated prizes for our raffle which means we can support local charities, raising over £2750 in last year.
We are also grateful for the entertainers who give their time free of charge to ensure the evening goes with a swing. However, if the Festival is to continue we desperately need more help. If you can help in any way at all please contact me via the web form at the bottom of the page. We hope you enjoy what is on offer this year.
Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year to you all.
Jane Emery,
Festival Co-ordinatorWhat's On?
