Stratford’s inaugural TiddFest was a sound success
A VERY successful inaugural TiddFest was held at the Home Guard Club, Tiddington, on Saturday (7th September).
The free family event saw the community get together to enjoy an afternoon packed with great music provided by Tiddington duo Hokum & Hooch and former Ocean Colour Scene member Dan Sealey.
It was opened by Stratford’s new MP, Manuela Perteghella, who took part in an energetic bhangra dancing session put on by village group In2Cultures.
Tiddington’s very own Olympic rowing heroine silver medallist, Esme Booth, was there along with her medal from Paris and was greeted by an enthusiastic crowd. Esme also spoke to everyone about her journey from Alveston Primary School to the medal podium in Paris – a real inspiration to all the young people who were there.
Tiddington Village Residents’ Association organised TiddFest with the aim of putting on events and raising funds to improve both the fabric and community spirit of the village.
Chairperson Rachel Grubb said: “We were delighted to see so many villagers at TiddFest, there was a lovely atmosphere, and everyone enjoyed it. We rely on a small and dedicated group of volunteers who worked incredibly hard to prepare the event, I’m sure all attendees wish to join me in thanking them.”
