MAKE YOUR APPLICATION NOW

Shenstone’s Village Festival this year hit another record. Yes, there were a record number of visitors; record number of events and exhibits; a record number of gardens open; a record number of flower displays…the list goes on.

It could never have happened though without so many giving their time freely. Every single person made it what it was and it was a real coming together of community. So, thank you.

The various participants made a total of £6,007.50 for their particular charities which is tremendous.

And that success is mirrored by the amount of money the Festival is able to hand out to village based community groups like yours. In total £6,209.38 is available – that’s £1,084.16 more than in 2024.

Application forms are now available and it would be good to hear from as many as possible. The form is available from the Festival Secretary, Carol Law Email: [email protected]; on request at Shenstone Community Library and Coffee Shop or can be downloaded from the website www.shenstonevillagefestival.co.uk.
So, please don’t let the opportunity pass. Deadline is September 16th and grants will be awarded on a basis of need and project.
