Events 2023

Join us for an afternoon & evening of fabulous family entertainment fit for a King.
We invite residents to join us in marking this historic occasion at a free community event. Our celebration afternoon starts at 2pm on St Martin's Church Green and features a range of live stage performers and walk about entertainers.
There will also be balloon modelling, face painting, cream teas, BBQ Grill, Bar, Crêpes, and much much more!
As we move into the evening you can enjoy a live music concert featuring our very own Benji Williams as you have never seen him before, and a fireworks finale as Desford joins the rest of the UK in 'Lighting up the Nation'
