Unfortunately I could not attend the 2021 Whittlesey Extravaganza held on 11th December.
Most of the feedback was very positive and a wonderful time was had by the many who attended the event.
At last nights committee meeting, discused the success of the event and what could perhaps be improved upon for this coming years event.
With the cancellation of this years ‘Straw Bear Festival’ – the ‘COVID Effect’ has always to be considered.
Date planned for this years event – Saturday 10th December starting at 15:30
