The Festival of Horwich, a free event that drew thousands of visitors last year, is set to return in September, promising an even bigger and better experience. Organizers are hoping to build on the success of the inaugural festival, aiming to attract even more attendees this year. Kathryn Grant, the chair of the 2024 Horwich Festival, expressed her excitement, stating that they’re expecting an even larger crowd than the over 7,000 people who attended last year. The festival will feature a variety of activities and competitions, all free to attend. The aim, according to Grant, is to foster community connections and showcase the best of what Horwich has to offer. The event would not have been possible without the support of sponsors like J Dickinson.
