What Shefford Community Festival is all about:

Many thanks to John at LivingLife Magazine for creating the video.
We are delighted that the Bedfordshire Schools Trust (BEST) has decided to sponsor the Community Festival as part of their support for the community of Shefford. BEST is a multi-academy trust providing exceptional education across our community with 10 schools and five nurseries here and elsewhere in the area.
There cannot surely be a parent in Shefford who is not aware of the work this group carries out in the community, so their participation in enabling the Festival is much appreciated. We applaud their theme – “Growing the BEST in everyone” and wish them well in their efforts.
We are delighted to have been working alongside LivingLife magazine since the start of the Festival and now to recognise their great support as sponsors. LivingLife is very much a local magazine crafted from the stories of the town – it is delivered monthly to 16000+ homes and businesses in Shefford, Campton, Chicksands, Arlsey, Henlow Village, Henlow Camp, Upper and lower Stondon, Stotfold and Fairfield Park. They feature informative and interesting news articles, and also serve to connect local businesses, trades and services to our thriving local community.
We are delighted that the STMA (Shefford Town Memorial Association) is organising a number of special events for the Festival this year in addition to playing host venue to it’s normal range of weekly social activities. They have really gone to town with re-furbishing the hall so do go and experience their new facilities.

The Garage Sale Trail sponsored by Country Properties has been a signature event in the Community Festival program since the beginning and was one of the few events that carried on through the restrictions of last year. This year it is again highly active with over forty registrations already confirmed – well done all you car booters – I certainly look forward to checking out the stalls!
