From Doug Medhurst, Hon President ...
Welcome again to you all for this, our 30th Festival Week, where the intention is for us to have a happy time together in our Village. Our Festival raises money for many local clubs, societies and charities taking part - and also benefits many who are unable to help themselves so well as in the past. Help us to help them. This year the 'curtain is closing' on Ray Leggett's five-year Chairmanship. Thank you, Ray, for your cheerfulness and hard work.

The Festival ran from 12th to 20th June (now in its 29th year) and this annual festival was a great opportunity for the entire village to come together for a week of fun and charity fundraising.
East Preston Festival 2009
The 2009 festival was the largest organised with over 90 different events taking place throughout the week. These included coffee mornings, markets, open gardens, live music, tug of war, beer festival, novelty dog show on the green and of course the village carnival procession - to name just a few.
An incredible total of over £42,000 was raised for charity, from the events throughout the week, by all the various clubs, associations, businesses and individuals who worked so very hard, out of this the festival committee raised over £7,000 which was handed out to 35 local charitable causes at the public presentation night on 20th October.
