Glossop Arts and Leisure Association presents Glossop Victorian Weekend 2008 Friday, September 5 Saturday, September 6 Sunday, September 7 This special weekend tradition brings in visitors from afar as Glossop goes back in time to Victorian Days. Again this year we plan to make the Victorian Weekend bigger and better than any previously gone by. The
roads through the town centre are closed to traffic as the roads are
filled with everything from steam wagons, Victorian fairground rides,
accordion players, Punch & Judy, stilt walkers and jugglers to
Glossop's very own Fire Service with their engines.
There is a main stage where lots of various acts feature and Morris Dancers with their clogs entertain all. All are encouraged to get in the spirit by dressing up in Victorian garb – there are prizes for best dressed in various categories and also for the best Victorian shop display. There are sideshows of funfair rides, craft stalls, farmers market, hog roast and real ale tent to keep the whole family entertained. We are actively looking for corporate sponsorship from local businesses for this event. A variety of sponsorship packages is available to suit all budgets. For further information please contact Tina Howe on 07720 073000. The Partington family at Talbot House, c 1890-1900 Photograph from Picture the Past
