Did you know that the Goosnargh and Whittingham Whitsuntide Festival Logo was the winning entry to a competition designed by 11-year old Elizabeth Dewhurst. That was 8 years ago, and we're still using it today!

The Whitsuntide Festival is organised by the Festival Committee and a group of hugely dedicated friends in Goosnargh & Whittingham, close to the city of Preston in Lancashire, North West England.

The Festival Day on the Saturday after Spring Bank Holiday Monday continues a tradition at least a century old (see our History Page), featuring a Community Procession through the village.

The parade of the festival banner, decorated floats, fancy dress competitions, displays of Maypole Dancing and visiting marching bands all set the scene for the crowning of the year's "Festival Queen" who supports village charity activities during her reign. The day is generally wrapped up with the Family Disco featuring Colin, our resident DJ.

Our other family activities throughout the year are just as special and include the choosing of the Whitsuntide Festival Queen and Family Disco, the Hallowe'en Fancy Dress Disco, Children's Sports Day. Fundraising events include the Spring Jumble Sale, Raffle and Patrons Sponsorship Scheme. (See our Diary Page and News Page for more details.)
