Tewkesbury’s Big Weekend 2024
Looking for something to do on the Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th May 2024?
Well look no further than your own Town Centre and Riverside area, as Tewkesbury’s Big Weekend returns and looks to be brighter than ever before!
Applications now open to join in the Carnival Parade – see form on Downloads page.
Tewkesbury’s Big Weekend was originally started in 2015 by a small group of Tewkesbury residents that wanted to show the locals and residents of neighbouring towns and villages that Tewkesbury is open for business and to show off what great community spirit we have! It’s the reason we spread activities out around the town, so people can go to places they may not often visit.
We are under way with making 2024 another wonderful year for Tewkesbury Big Weekend. We’ll keep you updated with news and welcome any ideas from you, that said, if you’d like to take part and get involved you’d be made to feel very welcome at our next meeting.
We want Tewkesbury Big Weekend to engage with everyone who cares about the town and has a stake in it’s future – businesses, school, clubs, associations, charities, sports groups, crafters – YOU!
Our downloads page holds everything you need to be involved with during the weekend. Here you will find carnival parade application, boat race applications, trader form, posters.
