Thatcham Festival

October 6, 2023 - October 15, 2023

The annual Thatcham Festival offers the opportunity for people to get creative in a workshop, learn something new at a talk, explore our local area on a walk and enjoy a range of performances including music, drama and dance. There are also exhibitions and fairs celebrating local leisure activities and crafts. Many of these activities are offered to the public free of charge or for a small booking fee.
