Subject: Invitation to 17th Annual Crawley Irish Festival - Sunday 26th August


Good Afternoon

You are cordially invited to the
17th Annual Crawley Irish Festival on Sunday 26th August and this year you will be glad to hear it's all FREE!

YES, the festival takes on a new format this year by 're-inventing itself' and moving to Crawley High St for the first time ever as a 'free-for-all' event.

The Festival attracts many thousand visitors to the town from throughout Crawley, Sussex and London and has built a reputation as a great family day out over the August Bank Holiday weekend.  The event showcases some of the best musical talent from Britain and Ireland featuring 8 hours of modern, traditional Irish music and open dance competitions, ceili dance arena, a special buskers corner and in addition, sport and cultural identity are featured prominently with various food and craft stalls and displays with GAA sports shown on the big screen all adding to that ?Fleadh Ceoil? experience in the West Sussex town.
Check out our website http://www.celtic-irish.co.uk/festival/

Looking forward to welcoming you to Crawley on the 26th August

Many thanks

John
