The Felixstowe Chamber has long been looking at and discussing further ways of promoting the town and particularly the town centre and what it has to offer to people living around the area.
Felixstowe already plays host to some fantastic events that draw in amazing crowds from outside the town such as the vintage car and motorbike rallies and Art on the Prom.
Wanting to maximise on these events and wishing to develop more ideas, the Chamber has pulled together a sub committee to focus on doing just that.
The Hamilton Road Committee is operating separately to the main Chamber Executive Committee but will report back on ideas and developments at each of the monthly committee meetings.
The role of the team is to liaise with local businesses, event organisers, local authorities and the police so as to make the most of public activities, ensuring that more of Felixstowe is experienced and enjoyed by those visiting the town for different events.
With a wealth of craft, drama, music and other unique and interesting clubs and organisations in and around Felixstowe, the committee will also be concentrating on putting together a diary of new events for 2010 to take place right in the heart of the town centre in the Hamilton Road area.
Calling all street entertainers!
With this year in mind, the team on the Hamilton Road Committee wants to hear from anyone who has an interesting and entertaining street act and who would like the opportunity to perform in Felixstowe’s Street Festival.
Taking place on 22nd August 2009, we would like the town centre to be a hive of activity with as much of a diverse range of acts as possible. We already have some great acts but are looking for more! So if you’re a street magician, funky dance troupe, wacky street statue or have an act that is just completely different, then we want to hear from you.
The festival and acts do need to be regulated so will be selected on an application basis only.
If you’re interested in being involved, please email us on info@felixstowechamber.co.uk with Street Festival Application in the subject heading we’ll send you an application form or download one here and post it to: Events Committee, Fellixstowe Chamber, PO Box 168, Felixstowe, IP11 1AA
