Remind me
Celebrate a Century of Community at the Bideford Family Festival 2025
Step aboard for another journey through history as we mark 100 years of Bideford Rotary with this year’s special theme: “100 years of Bideford Rotary”.
Following a successful Water Festival this year, we have decided it was a good opportunity to host another Festival to engage all the families during the half term to cheer up all members of the family prior to the onset of November and December’s long winter period.
Join us at Bideford College Indoor Arena and Premises for a family-friendly celebration featuring Model Car Racing, Model Train Displays, Lego Building Display, Model Military Display as well as Local School Bands, School Performances plus a sprinkling of the usual Caribbean Drums and we finish with a local Band for adults.
There will also be FOOD STALLS (HOG ROAST) (BURGERS) (VEGIE SELECTION OF FOOD), COFFEE STALLS, ARTS AND CRAFT STALLS and LOCAL CHARITY STALLS.
ENTRANCE TO ALL WILL BE FREE AS WELL AS PLENTY OF FREE PARKING SPACES AND EASY ACCESS.
THEREFORE, EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO ATTEND AND ENJOY THE INDOOR FESTIVITIES AND FUN.
Keep an eye on our Facebook page for updates, highlights from past festivals, and this year’s programme as it unfolds. Let’s celebrate a century of service, togetherness and adventure – right here in the heart of Bideford.
