Thatcham Festival Returns – 10 Days of Creativity, Heritage & Community

Thatcham Festival returns from Friday 10^th to Sunday 19^th October bringing ten days packed with activities that celebrate the town’s local talent, creativity, and heritage. With many events completely free, and none costing more than £7, it’s the perfect chance to enjoy something new.

With a wide range of events, from live music, talks, and guided walks to children’s storytelling, craft workshops, and art exhibitions there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

This year, the festival places a special focus on Thatcham’s rich history, with heritage walks and talks uncovering the town’s fascinating past. Families can look forward to interactive sessions including nature activities, storytelling, and hands-on crafts, while those looking to try something new can explore everything from photography and painting to music and board games.

Local groups, artists, and performers will be at the heart of the celebrations and with so many free events, the festival is also a wonderful opportunity to spark new interests, and enjoy the friendly, welcoming spirit that makes Thatcham great.

“Whatever your interests, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. I look forward to sharing these special days with you and celebrating the creativity, heritage, and community spirit that make Thatcham so special.”
– Petra Pemberton, Mayor of Thatcham
