Come down to Newbury Market Place today for Chalkfest 2021

THE only time it's OK to chalk on the pavement, the popular Chalkfest community event organised by City Arts - returns to Newbury Market Place on Monday (August 9).

Join in between 10am to 4pm.

You will be allocated an area per household to create roughly a 1-metre square picture in a safe environment – social distancing measures will be in place.

It is free to chalk but you are asked for a donation towards the chalk if you want to enter the 2021 competition.

To pay the donation entry fee you can add it to the donations bucket on the day or pay by card at the event (£1 per competition participant).

You will be asked to photograph the chalk artwork when you’ve finished and e-mail the pictures to City Arts, letting them know the age of the participant (when filling you details on payment). The prizes will be City Arts Gift Vouchers for children (to 12 years old), teen (13 to 17 years old) and adult (18 +) categories.
