These have all been very successful events designed to interest and entertain people with many different tastes.  But they have required a huge input.......

This year the Palmers Green Festival organisers are planning to use the former bowling green in Broomfield Park to stage "Classics on the Green" - an afternoon of local musicians playing classical music. This innovation will depend on finding a local volunteer who would put together a line-up of locally based musicians.  They would be supported by the Festival Team, but would be responsible for administering and stage managing on the day. If you are local, have a few hours a month and are.......
