ECCLESHALL FESTIVAL Street Market, the Open Gardens Weekend, the Walking Treasure Hunt, the popular Festival Quiz and much, much more. There have been a variety of themes over the years for the Festival Street Market and the fancy dress competition, however with 2014 being the year of the World Cup and United Nations celebrations the theme is a much more universal one with those taking part welcome to don whatever kind of costume they wish this year. This is sure to raise the stakes for the hotly contended competition, and sure to provide some colourful and no doubt comical entertainment to the Street Market celebrations on Saturday 21st June with prizes up for grabs for the best stall and best stallholders fancy dress. Also booked to take place this year is Eccleshall's popular junior talent contest, the Eccy Factor which continues in 2014 with a competition in the Holy Trinity Church on Saturday 21st June. Aimed just at youngsters this time, the event is being organised by Peter Wilshaw and Derek Aldred and entry forms will be available by post, online and from the library nearer the date.
