Annual community arts festival in Sherwood Rise, Nottingham centred on Hedley Park and the streets around it. This year(

2012) it will be on Saturday October 13th.

It features live music from local bands and performers (plus our own Rise Singers), art on the railings around the park, craft stalls a plenty, children's entertainment, a procession, and of course food.

The festival has a foody theme, bread to be precise, because it used to be made around these parts in large quantities. Not just the white sliced stuff, but a local speciality - pyclets - were produced in a small specialist bakery opposite the park for many years. Bread is also common to the many nationalities and cultures that have made their homes around this part of Nottingham - it is indeed the stuff of life.
