Bardsey and East Keswick Fest 2012
Working together in Bardsey and East Keswick for the benefit of our whole community
“I feel blessed that I live in our village because we are united in having fun, being friends and helping to make a difference! The main reason I love living here is the way so many people work together on common goals to benefit the whole community.” From Hayley Dodsworth resident in Bardsey, West Yorkshire.
[Along with many villages throughout the UK we are planning the upcoming Diamond Jubilee celebrations and have formed a committee of local groups to work together to provide a calendar of fun filled five days from Friday 1st to Tuesday 5th June 2012. The whole community will be invited to join in with fun and games including our famous Bardsey village Scarecrow Trail and the beautiful Flower Festival at All Hallows Church.
Bardsey Primary School will kick start the celebrations with a family and friends ‘IT’S A KNOCKOUT’ on Friday 1st June from 12 Noon with a ‘picnic in the grounds and then some real old fashioned fun’.
