Greetings and welcome
Welcome, everyone. We are now in the run up to the 4th Caterham Festival. We are getting bigger each year with more events, more people attending them, and more people assisting at them.
Again this year we will be holding:
The International Food Festival on 10th June
The Street Party on 3rd June
De Fest on 26th and 27th May
Open Caterham on the weekend 16th and 17th June
And the Caterham Carnival will be on the 9th June
This year is going to be very busy with European Football, the London Olympics and the Queens Diamond Jubilee celebrations. Most of the celebratory events for the Jubilee are on the 1st weekend in June and we will incorporate many of the events into the Festival, with the big lunch and flotilla happening at the Street Party, then the lighting of a beacon on the following day
These events are only possible through the excellent work done by a small committee of volunteers. There are also many businesses, organisations and people in the area who have assisted us in many different ways and I would like to take this opportunity to thank them all.
You may have seen in the local press that we are thinking about a soapbox derby on Church Hill? This is still at an early planning stage, if you have any comments, please contact feedback@caterham.co.uk

If you would like to get involved with the Caterham Festival events or have any other suggestions, then please contact us on info@caterhamfestival.org

Finally, last year I helped and advised Edenbridge to hold their first festival and I am delighted to say that was also a success and I wish them all the best for the future.
