Storrington Summer Festival
Posted by Mark | Filed under Blog, News, Next events
Last Saturday and Sunday was the Woodland Country Show, and quite understandably, Sunday was a bit wet for most people. 
However looking forward to this weekend Battlefield South will be attending the Storrington Summer festival where the weather is reported to be warm and Sunny. Held in the lovely village of Storrington, West Sussex the weekend starts at 6pm on Friday 17 July with live music, and closes at 11 pm. On Saturday 18th the programme restarts and runs from 10 am to 10 pm, and On Sunday starts at 10 am until 6pm. The event will feature 2 days of fantastic markets, a beer festival tent incorporating amazing regional beers, ciders and craft lagers. This all will be backed up by an incredible musical line up on stage throughout each day. Plus there will be an exciting kids zone(for all ages) with circus workshops, vintage children’s rides, rodeo bull, inflatable attractions, zorbing and of course Battlefield South. A perfect way to keep the whole family entertained. It promises to be a great weekend so why not come along, bask in the sun and have some fun. After this weekend we will be having a weekend off from 
public events, as we are booked up with private functions and parties, (there are some mid week dates still available, so if you have something in mind why not call us).
We will however be back with a big bang on 2nd August 2015 at Alexandra Park Portsmouth, With the Portsmouth Dreadnoughts. Details are to follow, however it is their last game of the season, and a charity event to raise money for one of their players who was paralysed from the chest down, following a sky-ing accident in March this year. So watch this space for details, as everyone will be welcome.

Looking forward to The Woodlands Country Show and more

Last Saturday we were at the Warsash 
Festival, and we must say a big thank you to all of you who managed to find is tucked away at the back of the show next to the pony rides. We hope you had a great time. We are sorry to report however, that we are now without our latest recruit Private P. Arty, who is still upset at not winning the scarecrow competition at the Festival. It could be said that it did knock the stuffing out of him, and he has fallen apart since. Our best wishes go to him for a speedy recovery.
But the summer doesn’t stop there. With the lovely weather the 
events are coming thick and fast, and next weekend we are local again at the “Woodlands Country Show” . This year it is being held at the Royal Victoria Country Park, Netley, Southampton SO31 9DQ. The event is on both Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th, which starts at 10am and closes at 5 pm each day, has something for the whole family. We understand that the medieval re-enactors will be there giving swordsmanship displays. Also there will be falconry displays, ferret racing, chainsaw carving, all sorts of craft, food and drink stalls and much, much, more. Not forgetting Battlefield South will be there .
Then the following weekend we will be a little further afield, at the Storrington Summer Festival. The festival runs from 17th to 19th (Friday 6 pm to 10pm, Saturday 10 am to 10 pm, and Sunday 10 am to 6pm), and will have, food, drink (regional beers, cider and craft Lagers) as well as live music, craft, cake, and jam stalls.. There will also be a “Kids Zone” with redo bull, inflatable rides, craft, cake, and jam stalls, and of course Battlefield South will be there. Oh and don’t forget the beer tent. It is a lovely village with lots to see and do, so why not add it to your diary as it is well worth a visit.

The Warsash Festival 2015
Posted by Mark | Filed under News, Next events
The hot weather is here and after a very busy (all be it a tad sad) 
Armed Forces Day with the REME and their Farewell to the garrison at Bordon, we have a very new recruit to introduce. Joining us, just in time for the Warsash Festival on Saturday 4 July 2015, is Pte P Arty (known as parts to his friends). He is a bit shy, not very talkative, and not a little scary. Although I understand that is his war face. He will be on parade along with the rest of the team on Saturday 
as will hosts of other scarecrows from local businesses. If you look carefully you can even spot him and some of the others hanging around the village all ready for the big day. As always there will be something for the whole family, from crafts and cakes to pony rides inflatable’s and of course Battlefield South. So why not come along and join us at the Warsash Festival, on Strawberry Field. The event opens at 12:30 and finishes at 4:30 pm.

Look what’s next

After a fun packed (if rather damp) Bank Holiday weekend At the Surrey Heath Show, Abdingdon Air and Country Show then on the Monday at St Mary’s Church Fratton, we had a show free weekend this week. We were however looking forward to better weather at the Portsmouth Dragon Boat Festival being held on the 
16th and 17th May (next weekend). However due to circumstances beyond their control they have had to postpone the event. It is now scheduled to be run on the 3rd and 4th of October 2015. So watch this space for news and updates.
This leaves us with a Saturday, free however we are busy looking to see if we can fill it with another event. If we are successful in finding another event we will post the details on here and on our Facebook page as usual.
We are busy with private events after this weekend, however we do have another new event for you, and this should really wet your appetites. We have been invited to take part the this year’s Milland Food, Drink & Music Festival, being held in the village of Milland, West Sussex on 30 May 2015. There will be bouncy castles, inflatable slides, Reodo bull, old style fairground rides, Face painting and this year Battlefield South. There may also be the odd cake and craft stalls, beer tent and music. Parking is Free and although 5 minute walk away from the event, there are free shuttle busses, and a £5 entrance fee for over 12 year olds. The event is from 10 am to 10 pm, and profit from the event goes to local groups and good causes. From what we have been able to learn about the event it is a picture post card village and a great day out, so why not come along, enjoy the atmosphere and have a game or two with us.
Still to be confirmed On the 7th June if you are a petrol head, we are planning a visit to Breamor House, Fordingbridge for the Wessex Car Show. Last year there was over 700 cars there, with cake and craft stalls, auto jumble, live music, inflatable castles, and rides model aircraft flying displays and much much more.
To add to the excitement of June Battlefield South will attending the Titchfield Summer Carnival again this year. It is only on one day this year (21st June), so miss it and you will miss out. There will be lots of activities for the whole family, including Live music, craft stalls, and no doubt wellie throwing, tug of war, and more. So why not come along and have some fun.
To top off the month of June, and in conjunction with “Armed Forces day” we will be celebrating the long standing relationship between the British Army and Bordon. With the garrison due to close the small village which over the last 100 plus years has been bolstered by the garrison into a sizable town, will once again and possibly for the last time share the day with a “Farewell to the garrison event”. The Corp of Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers will be given the freedom of the town, where they will parade and fix bayonets prior to Marching back to the Garrison. The day looks to be outstanding, with all sorts of activities and attractions taking place during the day. The event starts at the memorial at 11 am and the attractions start at 12 until 5 pm at Budds sports ground. We understand that there is a small entrance fee to the sports ground but all the activities, (bar, cake, food and craft stalls are not included) are free to those attending. Well worth a trip out in anyone book!
