The Worstead Village Festival Charity

Charity no. 1137770

Company no. 6946197

Mission

To support local organisations and groups for all ages and abilities through giving grants towards their capital projects from money raised through an annual two-day summer festival

The charity has a long history of helping groups and organisations both in its villages, neighbouring parishes and around Norfolk. The effort that goes into the festival over the course of the entire year is worthwhile when we get to give these grants to groups who are doing so much good for their communities.
