Event to celebrate Festival volunteers past, present and future

If you've volunteered with the Harold Hill Festival on the committee or at the event in the past or would like to in the future then we're holding a Christmas celebration event at myplace on Tuesday 11 December from 6pm 8pm.

There will be mince pies and fizzy pop as well as a chance to meet our mascot Harry the Squirrel.

Given the seasonal nature of the event Harry hopes as many ghosts (well volunteers anyway) of Festivals past, present and future will be there... (!)
