THORPE HAMLET GARDEN FESTIVAL

This Summer St Matthew’s Church in Thorpe Hamlet in partnership with the East Norwich Youth Project is proud to hold the ‘Thorpe Hamlet Garden Festival’.  This festival runs from Friday 18^th June to Sunday 20^th June and incorporates a range of events, activities and opportunities to bring a real sense of community spirit to the area.  Beginning on Friday 18^th June there will be an opening event at St Matthews Church before a host of gardens are opened on Saturday 19^th and Sunday 20^th to display an array of spectacular gardens, views and exhibitions.  Entry is by ticket only, £5 during the weekend or £4.50 if bought before, which covers refreshments and entry into a prize draw of a balloon flight.  Details of how to purchase tickets can be found on the website, below.

Supporting the festival is East Norwich Youth Project who with groups of young people will run a number of activities as part of the weekend festival.  In particular they’ll host a Funday at Lionwood Infant School on Saturday 19^th June between 11am and 4.30pm to include face paints, wide games, dance performances, BBQ, DJ workshops and family activities.

Danny Doran-Smith, ENYP’s Project Director says “ENYP's heart is to work alongside the local Churches across the East of Norwich, to reach out with love and compassionate service.  This is just another example of how we can draw on each others strengths in order to make a positive impact within the community".
