Bracknell

Comedy, crafts and lantern parades are just some of the highlights of this year's Northern Bracknell Parishes Arts Week, which is being supported by Bracknell Forest Council.

The annual Bracknell arts extravaganza is organised by Binfield, Warfield and Winkfield parish councils, and is set to provide an exciting and inspiring week of events from Monday, October 27.

This year's highlights include children’s comedy with funnyman James Campbell, a local arts exhibition, performances by the Binfield Bards and Wow with Words with Cbeebies poet Rosemary Harris.

There will also be lantern parades the parishes before a specially created community choir joins residents from all areas on a lantern parade right through Lily Hill Park in Bracknell; and South Hill Park Arts Centre will hold craft workshops including jewellery, ceramics, and spooky Hallowe’en fancy dress.

Cllr Iain McCracken, Executive Member for Bracknell Leisure, Corporate Services and Public Protection, said: "I am delighted Bracknell Forest Council is supporting the Northern Parishes Arts Week once again.

"This annual event has something for all the family, and I'm looking forward to seeing residents from the parishes on the lantern parade through Lily Hill Park."
