We reflected, later on, over supper at the Castle Hotel, how we couldn’t have imagined four years ago, that the Feast would ever have grown into the event it is today and how much its success seems to have inspired us all.
Logistically speaking it’s a headache, so many different sites over such an area, road notices, safety assessments, security, car park closure and so it goes on, moving to outside of the walls would make life so much easier and less stressful. It sort of misses the point though, that we are doing this for the town and community that we all love, we want to channel people through the streets, we want showcase the town, its castle, its individuality and its quirky independent shops, we want people and businesses to benefit, feel the great atmosphere and be a part of the party, and the great thing is, is that we do.
Roll on the weekend, the forecast is looking promising!.
