Festival Day Saturday 18th August 2012

What a show we have got lined up for the 2012 Festival! This year things will be a little bit different, instead of an arena we have got a 40ft trailer/stage provided by Prestige Distribution and sponsored by Fowlers Estate Agents with live acts performing all through the afternoon and evening.

Headlining the show will be "X FACTOR" star Laura White whose voice Simon Cowell described as "World Class" in the 2008 final. She is being sponsored by David Wilson Homes. Also confirmed is brilliant Freddie Mercury tribute act Paul Jackson straight back from his tour of Asia. Returning to the village, sponsored by Class Technology, is Diane James singing songs through the decades. Robbie the Magician will entertain the children and the Horsham Royal British Legion Band will be on stage playing popular tunes from Glenn Miller to Hollywood, supported by Saxon Weald Homes. The acts will play through the afternoon until late evening when the show will finish with the band ‘Aloud Out’ playing fantastic music from the 60’s to the present era. Supporting the band will be a disco. A huge lighting and sound system sponsored by the Co-operative will really bring all of this to life. Of course we will also have our fantastic Firework display at 10pm sponsored by Charles Muddle Ltd.

All of the old favourites will still be there including Harris Brothers Funfair, a fun dog show sponsored by Arun Veterinary Group, a car boot sale, flower show, craft, charity and animal stalls, sideshows and classic and vintage vehicles, ice cream. Food outlets include Thai food, stone baked pizzas, jacket potatoes, crepes, burgers, hot dogs, chips and hot doughnuts There's also a licensed bar selling a full range of drinks.

Our day starts at 1.30pm with the Horndean Marching Band leading the large Carnival procession through the village. They'll be followed by our Carnival Princess and attendants, loads of colourful floats and walking groups, Majorettes, Belly Dancers, Fancy Dress, Clowns, Vintage Vehicles and more.
