Tonight I attended the latest Prestwich Festival event, “Prestwich has junior talent”. No prizes for guessing that the event, which was held in St.Mary’s Park, is based on the Britains got talent show. Mercifully the judges are lot kinder!

It was a marvellous event, with a couple of hundred people there, in glorious sunshine, and we were treated to performances from 8 talented young people from local schools. The event was organised by Parrenthorn and Prestwich Arts College – with their pupils managing the staging, lighting and sound etc.

All in all great entertainment and for me it’s what the festival is all about. Bringing local people together in local facilities, showcasing local talent, well done one and all!
