Bramley Festival 2019 will be held on Sunday 18th August at Bramley Park from noon, writes Stephen McBarron.

Organisers are hoping to make the event bigger and brighter than ever with all day entertainments together with the traditional funfair and a Centrepiece Spectacular half way through the day.

Details of the death-defying stunt (which will be performed by a professional) will be released nearer the time.

We also hope to introduce new features including Guess The Weight of the Pig – together with a petting corner and free donkey rides. Exhibitors of all kinds will be on hand plus the Annual Talent Show returns with cash prizes to be won.

Hot food and drinks will be on sale together with the traditional ice cream van. Something for all the family.

Stalls this year are £10 across the board and can be booked via Stephen McBarron on 07411 299389. Weekly planning meetings to organise the event commence Wednesday lunchtimes from April at Fairfield Community Centre which is also the new base for the Festival and anyone who would like to be involved is welcome to attend.

While you’re here…

Producing your daily dose of West Leeds Dispatch comes at a cost!

There’s the hosting of the website you’re reading now, running our popular e-mail newsletter, membership of independent press regulator Impress, attending summer events, paying for equipment etc etc.

We need at least £200 a month just to break even – that’s money currently coming out of the pockets of dedicated volunteers who are passionate about what’s happening in our communities, connecting you with local groups and organisations as well as holding decision-makers to account and championing local issues.

And all that’s BEFORE we even think about paying something for people’s time – for instance, our editor puts in more than 24 hours a week in his ‘spare’ time to ensure The Dispatch publishes daily.

To put it bluntly, after nearly four years of daily publishing, we are not sustainable!

And we need YOUR help to continue …

For the cost of less than a couple of cups of coffee you can help support local community news and continue to give our communities a voice by taking out a subscription for just £4 per month (that’s just a pound a week).

As a thanks you’ll get your name on a roll of honour on our website. More importantly you will be enabling us to keep bringing you the news that matters about your neighbourhood.

Achieving a bedrock of supporters will give us a firm financial footing and help us plan for the future.

Supporting us couldn’t be easier…

  1. I am a Girl Guiding Brownie Leader in Bramley. I had a stall at this event 2 years ago but have not been invited back.
    Is the main purpose of this event to promote activities/support within the Bramley community if so would you like us to have a stand at this event if not, not a problem.
