Highfields Adventure Playground Fundraiser festival!

Hi there!

This is a pretty big message so gear up!

As you likely already know the Highfields Adventure Playground Association is facing yet another year of brutal cuts, which is not fair to the community of amazing people who have raised generations around this place.

A number of you in town have come to me and pushed how important it is that the council is put in a position where these cuts are stopped once and for all.

In order to get some of the stress relieved for the team at HAPA and also celebrate and raise awareness for them, we will be hosting the HAPA Festival on July 25th from 12-7pm at The Highfields Adventure Playground, which is where you come in!

We are looking for as many family friendly stalls, arts and crafts tables, music, and pot luck dishes as we can fit into the area.

There are a few categories we need to fill,

Charities and Organisations

Stalls that promote local youth organisations and charities that can get the children interested in new engaging hobbies and teach them about the world around them, you will be allowed to recruit new membership but donations are strictly to be raised for HAPA and their team.

Arts and Crafts

Artists who are willing to run craft sessions and donate art or supplies for our tombola, we will not be selling anything for personal gains but you are welcome to promote yourself and your services.

Entertainment

Musicians, Poets, Comedians, Theatrics, Dancers, we have seven hours of 15 minute slots to fill, it must be family friendly of course but we're looking for a wide array of individuality so as the musicals say anything goes!

Food

The hall will have a pot luck style lunch ready for anyone to come and enjoy, we need a team of volunteers willing to cook, bake and bring food as well as control dietary requirements and ensure there is no cross contamination of food.

Side note, we will also require disposable plates, cups, cutlery ect so they are also appreciated.

Thanks for your time and please pass this on to anyone who is interested in participating in our volunteer team, please contact Roz at 07422511237 with any queries or join the community organising chat on WhatsApp through Gigs for Gaza Leicester!
