Feast Week 2025 is scheduled to run from 28 June to 6 July.
The week has been branded as ‘Back in the Community’ and the Feast Committee is looking to gather more community involvement than ever with community groups, businesses and organisations being called on to think about how they can play a part. Money raised during Feast Week supports local good causes across our community with 2024’s beneficiaries including Histon & Impington Hedgehog Champions, Hope Again Bereavement Support and 1st Histon Scouts to name just a few.
Community at its heart
Chair Steve Cox told HI HUB: “You might not be in a summer frame of mind just yet, but we are! The wet weather of 2024 washed out a lot of the fun of last year’s Feast Week and for 2025 we are keen to see even more events and greater involvement across the community”.
He continued: “Events don’t have to be big, or even fundraising. But if your group is thinking of hosting a summer event, please consider whether it could be part of Feast Week. In return, we can offer extra publicity by including your event in the Feast programme”.
This year’s Feast Week will see a return of the Village Festival, similar to that in 2023, on Sunday 29 June when the High Street will be closed to traffic and filled with stalls and attractions. The committee is keen to see local businesses, clubs and organisations involved; with dedicated space available for those who wish to host a stall.
For inclusion in the Feast programme, details of any planned events to be publicised must be submitted by this Easter and the committee is keen to hear from anyone who might be keen to get involved. The team will also be contacting local businesses regarding advertising in the booklet as well as making a call-out for applications from potential 2025 Feast funding beneficiaries.
Get involved
The Feast Committee AGM will take place on Thursday 30 January where plans for 2025 will be outlined and the community is invited to join the meeting. “To sum it up, we are asking the community to get involved”, Steve implored. “Feast Week can be bigger than ever before but only with help from the village and its groups, clubs and organisations. Suggestions, ideas and thoughts are welcome – please get in touch or come along to our AGM. We would love to meet you”.
Feast Week 2025 will take place 28 June – 6 July. The Feast Committee AGM will take place at 8pm on Thursday 30 January at the Recreation Ground pavilion. Email Feast Chair Steve Cox on stevecox.histon@gmail.com to find out more.
