Chalkfest returns to Newbury town centre

City Arts Newbury flagship community event Chalkfest returns to Newbury Market Place on Monday.

Join them between 10am and 4pm to chalk creatively on the paving in the square.

The event is organised by the town's Hampton Road community arts venue.

On the square you will be allocated an area per household to create roughly a one metre square/circle picture in a safe environment.

It is free to chalk, but City Arts asks for a donation towards materials if you want to enter the 2022 competition (£1 per competition participant).

The prizes will be City Arts gift vouchers for children (to 12 years old), teen (13 to 17 years old) and a Bill’s voucher for the adult (18 +) category.

Finger's crossed for good weather to make this a good Chalkfest, with great participation and a happy summer feeling in the Market Place.
