4th Annual Village Fete
The Brunswick centre, held its 4th annual Village Fete in May. The fete had all the traditional elements which Brunswick shoppers have come to know and love, but in order to develop the campaign and continue to surprise and entertain visitors, 2011 saw the activities expanded to incorporate new genres of entertainment, maximising on trends and consumer interest. The event was still largely focused on the community, promoting the ‘village within a city’, but extended activity to appeal to wider audiences including tourists and students.
The entertainment on offer included Maypole Dancers, Bloomsbury Brass Band, Delectable Dancing Dollies, Jazz Band, Tarot Card Reader, Circus Skills Workshops and a Balloon Race, alongside the traditional Fete Games, Balloon Modellers and Face Painters. The Fete also saw the return of the Farmers Market, Beer tent and tombola.
An impressive 65% of retailers were involved with the fete, providing competitions, samples, special offers and even sending their mascots to the event.
The event raised over £850 for Coram’s Fields and generated over £3000 worth of press coverage.
