welcomeWelcome to Monton Community Festival

After 15 years of the Monton Summer Festival, MVCA are now proud to bring you the new, improved Monton Community Festival on Duke’s Drive. The site has been redeveloped and maintained by a great group of volunteers, so thank you to them, for making this possible.

We bring you our favourite elements from The Festival as in years gone by, including live music and dance, a great range

of stalls, (some you may recognise from our own Monton Road!) crafts, games and information as well as chance to buy and win great gifts (not to mention sweets!) whilst raising money for charity.

There is International food and drink to enjoy here – or take home – and even 1 or 2 straight from the village High Street. On top of this we are thrilled to bring you a Teddy Bear’s Picnic in The Enchanted Forest (plus a visit from Elsa – teddy bears LOVE Frozen!), a Dog Show, our Winner Bakes it All (baking) competition, The Pet Zone with animals and critters and our Family Area with Games for all ages.

We hope you enjoy the day!
