Sunday 16th September 2018

Join in with the whole village to celebrate the start of this year’s Festival.

It is taking over the High Street with a fun-filled programme of entertainment to surprise and delight including ourselves.

It will include the annual vintage vehicle transport parade led by a marching band commencing at 12.30pm, other dance and singing groups, combat archery, street entertainers, other interactive activities, morris dancers and the Harris old-time amusements throughout the day.

Street parking is in the estate roads to the north of the High Street, so best to be there by midday to ensure a place.

We are singing outside the New Inn starting between 1.30-2.00pm and 3.30pm in or outside the Village Garden Marquee. If the weather proves variable we will sing undercover.

Please check back here for set lists. Set lists appear below.

Please email me at southdownsfolksingers@gmail.com to volunteer.

Further details of the Hurst Festival are on the organiser's website.
