This year's Bretton Festival will be even bigger and better than last year. As well as the usual 30+ stalls, fairground attractions, bands, dance and music groups, Vikings, bar, and car boot sale, we also welcome significant involvement this year from all the Bretton schools in a schools football competition which will be held throughout the afternoon.

Also new this year are poster competitions for the under 5 yr olds and for 5-8 yr olds, and a poetry competition for 9-14 yr olds (ages on the day of the festival). These competitions can be entered prior to the festival or there will be facilities in the Parish Council tent during the afternoon to submit your entry on the day. The theme for the poster and poetry competitions is 'The uses of Bretton Park', and the winners of each category will receive a voucher as well as public display of their work in Bretton. The competitions will be judged on the day and the winners announced on the main stage at 5pm. Any submissions prior to the day should include the name of the author and age, as well as contact details, and be sent to the Clerk.

Another important feature this year will be a chance to have your say on the future of Bretton by commenting on the Bretton Spatial Study recently undertaken by consultants on behalf of Peterborough City Council, Bretton Parish Council, Opportunity Peterborough and a number of local businesses and organisations. The report suggests some potentially very significant developments throughout North and South Bretton to homes, businesses and the rural landscape. As the consultative process is about to commence, make sure you come along to the Peterborough City Council stall at the festival and have your say as this will be one of your key opportunities to make sure that your voice is heard on the way that you think your local area and amenities should be developed.

We look forward to seeing you all on 19th July!

Anyone wanting a stall at the festival should contact Rebecca Lawrence at rebecca.lawrence@hotmail.co.uk as soon as possible.
