VILLAGE GREEN 2014. Southend. 12 Jul'14
Village Green 2014 art and music festival took place at Chalkwell Hall on Saturday 12 July 11am-10pm.
Around 22,000 people enjoyed a fantastic atmosphere at Village Green in the sunshine yesterday. Among the 22,000 were:
1000’s of under 11s enjoying the mechanical, fire breathing dragon- the smallest nightclub in the world, the Miniscule of Sound, the Insect Circus and loads more attractions on site.
1000’s of teenagers gathered at the new Youth Village stage – designed and curated by Southend school pupils it boasted a packed programme that kept our younger festival goers entertained all day until 8pm
600 arts, crafts, vintage and food traders
900 artists performing on 11 stages
140 volunteers
100 production crew
With something on site for all ages – families were kept entertained all day – the atmosphere was friendly and fantastic across the day – and even the small downpour of rain during the headliner, Beth Orton didn’t dampen spirits.
A really great day!
The fantastic line up of artists and musicians included Beth Orton, Eddi Reader (Fairground Attraction); Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip; New York ska band, The Slackers; from London Man Like Me; Youth Club, Shlomo; Danny and the Champions of the Worlds; Kathryn Williams; Eight Rounds Rapid; and hot tips to go global in the very near future, The Hosts!
Alongside, we had an exciting exchange with four visual artists from Shanghai; a wide range of comedy, cabaret, live art, literature, film and a whole host of extraordinary outdoor arts, installations, workshops and performances.
