Headington Festival (360G-ocf-a061600000jzL0o)

The festival takes place over a weekend in early June. The objectives are to a) develop a sense of community b) support local charities and community groups c) improve the health and well being of residents d) to support local businesses The focus on the Saturday is on the retail centre. Typically there will be a street market, street entertainment, an arts event for children, and a shop window competition. The main event takes place in the park on the Sunday at which local groups set up stalls to raise funds, increase awareness of their projects and give out information about their activities. In addition there are sports 'taster' sessions, plus various forms of entertainment. Last year there were about 40 stalls (consisting of community groups, local charities, youth groups, information groups, conservation groups etc.) The types of entertainment include, typically, a magician, dance acts, singing, messy play, storytelling and a brass band. The Festival and most of the activities are free of charge. The festival relies on funds from local businesses and grant giving bodies. Without such financial support the festival could not run.
