Wantage Summer Festival Opens

This weekend kicked off the start of the 18th Wantage Summer Festival which brought with it some sunny weather too!  Last night,  I attended the Evening Supper Concert in the New Band Hall (see photos above) on Tugwell Field in Wantage where The 12th Street Brass Quintet played some well-loved numbers which everyone enjoyed.  An excellent evening all organised by Wantage Silver Band.

Today was the Ray Collins' Wantage Carnival in the Market Square where the funfair and many  stalls were on display.  There seemed to be a good turnout again, I am sure because of the lovely sunshine.  Money was being raised for Wantage Church of England School, Charlton Acorns pre-school and several other charities.

There are lots of events to go to over the next few weeks so do check out the programme which can be seen here.  Tickets can be booked at the Vale and Downland Museum (Tel: 01235 760176 or 771447).
