What you missed!

 

The theme for 2011 is "The 60's"  - it could be from the 1960's but if you have an idea in mind from 1860 go for it! Just expect some magical floats to grace the high street of Kimpton.

 

Attracting thousands of visitors each year, the festival is recognised as one of the biggest and brightest village festivals in the UK.  Live concerts and a spectacular street procession, are just some of the highlights of this year’s event, which has as its theme ‘The 60's’.

 

The Saturday street procession will be a genuine spectacular, with themed floats from every section of he Kimpton community, culminating in the crowning of the 2011 May Queen. 

 

The four solid days of events start on Friday April 29th with the Art show opening night in the 13th century church and an exclusive wine event hosted by Mark Buckenham of The Wine Society.  ‘Brains of Kimpton’ on Sunday night showcases local brilliance and Saturday night’s concert ‘Kimpton Entertains’ has helped launch a few showbiz careers.

 

Children’s activities include fairground rides, candy floss, football tournament, maypole dancing, a programme of entertaining arena events including a Tug of war – and much more!

 

Jazz bands, 10k fun-run, craft fair, barbecues, bars, giant charity auction, Morris dancers, car boot sale, traditional music sessions, maypole dancing – it’s wall-to-wall fun for the whole of the long weekend in this lovely village that won the title of Hertfordshire Village of the year 2008 (West).
