Danson Festival 2008Danson Festival 2008
5 & 6 July

Get Ready for Bexley’s Big Weekend

The dates for The 2008 Danson Festival have been confirmed with a guarantee of entertainment to suit all the family  

The Danson Festival 2008 Programme (2.99MB, PDF File) features all the acts and events that will happen each day, as well as a detailed map.

The beautiful parkland of Danson Park in Bexleyheath will once again host one of the South East’s largest annual, free events – The Danson Festival on July 5 and 6.

Headlining the main stage on Saturday night and bringing Las Vegas style glitz and glamour to the Festival will be Suspiciously Elvis .Even if you are not a fan of the King – this is a show not to be missed, recreating the great man at the height of his powers and guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

The Park will be divided into themed areas including a youth zone, arts zone, sports zone, community zone and an environmental zone. If you enjoy watching other people work hard, the dance stage will give you a good idea of how much practice does actually make perfect.

On the main stage, hosted once again by 103.7FM TGR Sound, local bands will get a chance to play in front of their biggest ever audience, as Festival organisers give the best of the bunch at least fifteen minutes of fame.

If you missed the Boat Race – don’t worry – Danson has a great alternative - Dragon Boat racing on the Park’s 9 acre lake. Raising money for The Anthony Nolan Trust, heroic teams will battle for supremacy in their 30ft long highly decorated boats, in time to the beat of a bass drum.

Danson Festival is one of the best family days out of the summer and with free admission, there is no better place to be.
