Welcome to the Broomhill Festival Website. The Festival runs every year in early June, and is organised by volunteers and sponsored by local businesses.
Last year the festival raised over £15,000, which was divided between five charities. The 35rd Broomhill Festival runs from Wednesday 10th June until Sunday 21st.
22 May 2009Our Time, Our Place
Broomhill is definitely “Our Place” and this is “Our Time” and over the 10 days of the festival a great range of events and activities for all ages from playing music to playing soccer celebrate our vibrant community. Since last year’s Festival we have said goodbye to our chair of many years, Adrian Alker, and his wife Christine, both of whom contributed enormously to the success of past Festivals. Our active and dedicated Festival Committee is determined to carry on with this wonderful example of the whole community coming together, so come along, enjoy yourselves and help us with our sponsors to raise funds for this year’s charities.
