Hurst Festival 2024

Hurst Fest 2024 is a Success!

HurstFest 2024 was an outstanding success, building on the positive momentum established since the covid pandemic in 2020. Responding to the enthusiastic feedback from the local community following each HurstFest, we were delighted to host the event in Cedar Park once again, made possible through financial backing facilitated by partners Smallshaw Hurst Children’s Community (SSHCC) and their sponsors from associates of Save the Children Fund.

Despite rather inclement weather on the morning of the event, with the collaborative effort of our

community partners, we arranged a remarkable family-oriented celebration that featured an array of activities, food, and drinks—all offered free of charge to local participants (Refreshments, hot dogs, Samosa’s and ice cream to anyone who wanted them), primarily to those people living in the OL6 postcode area. This year's event surpassed expectations: boasting an expanded lineup that included more ice cream, face painters, circus skills, a band, festival make-up artists, inflatables, football skills and drills, crafts, diverse food options, hair braiding, circus acts and Bangla bands, a very popular petting zoo, an impressive stage with live performers, and much more.
