Emery Gate Shopping Centre: Proud Sponsor of Chippenham Folk Festival 2023
This year is particularly special as the Chippenham Folk Festival is celebrating its 50th anniversary. Taking place all over Chippenham from the 26th - 29th May, this milestone event is a testament to the enduring popularity and importance of folk music and dance in our community. We are thrilled to be a part of this historic occasion by sponsoring it this year and we hope the festival thrives for another 50 years and beyond.
Emery Gate Shopping Centre is delighted to be sponsoring the 50th anniversary of the Chippenham Folk Festival. We are committed to supporting local events and organisations that help to make our community a vibrant and exciting place to live and work. We encourage everyone to come out and enjoy the festival, and to join us in celebrating the rich cultural heritage of our town with the best of local music, dance, song and arts.
We hope everyone in Chippenham and the surrounding areas comes out and enjoys the festival and supports the many talented performers and artists who will be taking part.
One of the festival's highlights is the music, with a diverse lineup of acts performing on multiple stages throughout the weekend. From traditional English folk music to modern interpretations of the genre, there is something for every music lover at the festival. In addition to the live performances, there are also workshops and sessions where visitors can learn about and participate in various folk music and dance traditions.
But the festival is not just about music – there are also a wide variety of other activities and events taking place over the weekend. Visitors can participate in Morris dancing, join in on a ceilidh, attend a storytelling session, or browse the many vendors selling handmade crafts and goods. Children will also enjoy the Kids Zone, which features a range of activities and entertainment designed just for them.
One of the unique aspects of the Chippenham Folk Festival is its focus on community involvement. Many of the events and activities are organized and run by local volunteers, and the festival relies on the support and participation of the entire community to make it a success. By sponsoring the festival, Emery Gate Shopping Centre is proud to be a part of this community effort and to contribute to the ongoing vitality of the town.
