The ever-popular 3foot People Festival returned this summer in Central Park, Chelmsford from 1 to 4 July. Tickets for this event went on sale on 2 June and sold out in just two days! This event created and managed by the Cultural Events Team took place for the fourth year and this summer no longer take place in Bell Meadow but in the adjacent site at Central Park, Chelmsford, from Tuesday 1 - Friday 4 July 2008 for an extra few hundred little people and their carers each day!
The variety of activities for this event were specially selected for their suitability for the very young. Adult carers also had lots to do, with information and advice about being good parents available from several organisations. A café area provided refreshments and bottle warming facilities and space to take time-out from all the activity. As far as we are aware, The 3foot People Festival is the only event of its kind in the country! The 3foot People Festival is created and managed by the Cultural Events Team at Chelmsford Borough Council with support from Play and Parks Services and sponsored by M&G Investments, The Essex Chronicle, The Meadows Chelmsford, Essex & Suffolk Water, The Printing Place and High Chelmer Shopping Centre. The event is supported by BBC Essex. For more information on our sponsors please click on their website links on the right hand side of this page.
