Brunswick Festival 2014
Brunswick Festival is a voluntary, annual festival in celebration of the diverse community of Brunswick in Hove, and celebrates its 33rd year in 2014.
Through the hard work and efforts of a small team of local residents and volunteers, this vibrant community festival has grown over the years from its humble beginnings as a low key picnic on the green, and now encompasses two whole weekends of outdoor events.
Highlights of this year’s festival include:
10 August – Rural Day at St Ann’s Well Garden, featuring Scruffs Dog Show.
Bringing the countryside to the city, and raising awareness of the environment. Featuring the ever popular Scruffs Dog Show, with creative activities for children, puppet shows, arts and crafts, conservation stalls and a brass band. Bring a picnic or sample a variety of food stalls and home bakes from the lovely tea tent.
16 and 17 August – Brunswick Festival in the square.
A fun filled family weekend with a free programme of live music, DJs, dance groups, circus skills, a healing area, children’s activities, arts and crafts. Also featuring a bustling market area with bric-a-brac, home made goods, vintage clothes, charity information stands and other wonderful stalls galore, a world food area with tasty delights and healthy snacks, and a tea tent with the best home made cakes on earth! The ‘Brunswick Tavern’ tent has real ale, cider, wine, beer and Pimms.
Bands confirmed include: Peter And The Test Tube Babies, Red Raucus, The Blackfields, The Tatsmiths, and Mind of a Lion.
