Hedon Town Council have been planning a celebration for the the last 6 months, some ideas are at the planning stage, but a lot has been booked, this will be on Market Hill on Monday 4th June in the early evening, a band, local dance groups, childrens competitions, stalls, competitions, Hedon pubs tug of war, hog roast, childrens rides, the beacon will be lit later then fireworks, further information will follow when confirmed. We intend to give Hedon school children a coin to commemorate the occasion.
As we draw nearer to the celebrations and bank holiday I am interested in what Hedon and it’s residents will be doing on the day. I think it would be a good oppotunity for the town to do something interesting for everybody in the area. I would like to see spaces in the centre of the town, such as Alexander Hall and the various pubs and restaurants used to showcase local bands and Djs aswel as local theatre groups and performers. Such a celebration would be good for the community aswel as being good for the traders of Hedon.
