If you, or a club, organisation or society you are involved with, would like to organise or host an event under the umbrella of the Crediton Community 2009 Festival we would be delighted to hear from you as soon as possible. This could be a special event for the 2009 Festival but equally could be something you will to be organising or planning for next year anyway.

We hope to have the programme of events finalised by the end of November 2008. If you would like to help sponsor the 2009 Community Festival in anyway we would still be delighted to hear from you.

We expect most of the major events to take place during May and June but would welcome others outside these dates to help extend the celebrations through the year.
