Olympic Festival Fun For All!

Tomorrow the Council will be submitting a bid to the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games (LOCOG) for the Bedford International Athletics Stadium to be granted the status of an 'Olympics Live Site' next summer. If successful, this will see us awarded a grant of £7,500 and will enable us to stage a free fun-filled festival of sport at the stadium during the Olympics, featuring a big screen showing all the action live, including the men's 100 metre final, and opportunities to have a go on the top class facilities on offer, especially for young people.

ESSEXstreetdiversions returns to Chelmsford for its ninth year on Saturday 1 October. As a part of this award winning international festival, all manner of curious characters will descend on this town centre with a grand finale by Bash Street Theatre from 5pm.

Between 10.30am and 4.30pm the town will be filled with the weird, wonderful and downright bizarre, so don't be alarmed if you see a pair of dapper penguins, a giant lobster, comedic nannies, an unsavoury litter-picker or even crazy hair sculptors all the way from Spain!
