Andover, you were amazing. 💛
Thank you for coming out in your masses to support your local charities, community groups, organisations, businesses and High Street shops. Days like this really do show just how special Andover is.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for showing up on what was a beautiful day. It was incredible to see so many people having fun, discovering something new, and supporting the amazing range of local organisations and businesses we have.
Seeing children’s faces light up - whether it was climbing into a fire engine, spotting a police van, getting their faces painted, trying henna, or discovering a charity that could support them - that’s exactly why we do this each and every year.
We’d love to hear from you - please leave your feedback here, it will only take a minute: www.bit.ly/A-Fest-Feedback
A-Fest is free for a reason. If you’re able to make a small donation to help keep it that way, you can do so here: www.goodhub.com/go/a-fest
I’ll be doing proper thank yous to the full team tomorrow, but for now - a huge thank you to our volunteers; Katherine, Andrew M, Andrew H, Steven, my amazing family Karina, Iurie, Jenny and Catrina, our stage team Elliott and everyone at Elite Sound & Light, and all the businesses, charities and stallholders who made today what it was. And of course, not forgetting our amazing sponsors Test Valley Borough Council, Andover Town Council, Hampshire County Council, Newbury Building Society and The DeeDee Trust. You are all why this event goes ahead every year, so thank you!
Now… time for some sleep.
