Trading at the Rogerstone Village Festival 2008

The 2008 Festival will be held on Bank Holiday Monday 25th August 2008, at the Welfare Grounds, Tregwilym Road, Rogerstone, Newport, NP10 9EQ, and the event has free admission for the public.

The Festival is run by a small group of volunteers, who aim to provide a fun filled enjoyable day for local people. Funds for the Festival are raised by letting out pitch spaces to caterers, to stall holders for the sale of arts, crafts, bric a brac, produce, etc., to organizations wishing to promote their business, charity, club etc., to the fun fair and to other activity based organizations. The committee also raises funds by selling raffle tickets and by selling refreshments from Tydu Community Hall throughout the day. Subject to fine weather, we expect thousands of visitors for a 6 hour trading period from 12pm to 6pm.

DETAILS

The committee mainly use the funds raised to pay for entertainment, insurance, prizes, hall hire etc. and every year the event becomes bigger and better. This year we hope to provide even more entertainment and will be extending the area of the festival to include a second field. The planning is at the early stage at present, but this year the committee hope to extend the period of fun for local people by permitting the fun fair to continue after 6pm, and provide a fire work display later in the evening. There may be an opportunity for catering vendors to extend their pitch hire (at additional cost); more information will be available when arrangements have been finalized.
