Horsham’s 3 Day FrenchFest Starts Friday
1 July 2008
HORSHAM’s famous FrenchFest, now in its third year, is all set to provide visitors with a fantastic variety of Gallic treats from this Friday 4 to Sunday 6 July.
The festival combines an authentic French market in the Carfax, and French culture, history and themed entertainments all over the town including Boules (Petanque) on the Forum and Market Square and a troupe of French Musketeers performing in the newly, part-time, pedestrianised East Street on Saturday.
Many local businesses are entering into the spirit of things with special promotions, offers and samples to tempt visitors into returning to Horsham’s Britain in Bloom winning town centre on a regular basis.
The complete details of the programme can be downloaded from www.frenchfest.co.uk and whether you come in to practise your French with the market traders, to seek out the weekend’s shop promotions or simply to soak up the special FrenchFest atmosphere – your Horsham experience this weekend will be truly Time Well Spent.
As with previous year’s Horsham FrenchFest encourages visitors and local students to practise their French language skills with the traders and special FrenchFest stickers will be handed out to those who try their linguistic skills.
