Crawley Festival returns and invites local residents to join in with the free activities being hosted in the town centre

The event is suitable for all ages, featuring workshops, music and dance entertainment, food demonstrations from the ‘Cultural Kitchen’, children’s rides, community stalls and much more.

Most attractions will be free, with voluntary donations invited for a few in support of Moonstones (domestic abuse support network).

Angela Finn, secretary of Crawley Festival said: “ We invite you to get out and enjoy yourselves without spending a fortune, with free entertainment from local favourites including Eddie Miller, King ‘n’ Swing, KC Dance school and Bollysteps.

“Lots of opportunities to ‘have a go’ too, including workshops from Ginger Moo art and Tons of Sound DJ. Our motto is ‘ For Crawley, By Crawley’, and we have some of the best of Crawley lined up for you"
