Tenbury to get Food Festival

The festivals in Tenbury Wells are now being run by a voluntary non-profit organisation called Tenbury Events.

Backed by grants from MHDC and AWM, they ran the successful 2008 Applefest and Mistletoe Festival. Further funds have been obtained by a "Grassroots" grant and there are plans for a town lottery. Any surplus profits from the events will be distributed to other town charities.

This year they plan to add the Teme Valley Food Fayre to their calendar on the 23rd May.

Also this year Applefest will be extended to two days and the Mistletoe Festival will become the Mistletoe season, starting with the High School Prom and taking in the Santa Parade and the Mistletoe Ball. Next year (2010) they also hope to revamp the Tenbury Carnival.
