Tring Spring Fayre 1st-15th May 2010
Last year Tring enjoyed a Spring Fayre for the first time! Tring Together coordinated a two week programme of activities and events that encouraged people to get active and enjoy 'Tring in Spring'. Highlights included guided walks around Tring and surrounding villages, led by local community groups such as Tring History and Museum Society and Butterfly Conservation; a 'Walk for Wellness' event; an open morning at Tring Park Mansion; spring animals on Church Square and offers in shops, restaurants and cafes throughout the High Street. The FoTCH Family Fun Day at St Peter & St Paul Church and Tring Farmers Market 10th Anniversary celebrations also took place during the Fayre.
This year Tring Together hopes to repeat the event from Saturday 1st May - 15th May, expanding the 'active' theme with more walks and cycling activities, encouraging more 'exploring' with open days at various venues and offering an assortment of other spring related activities.
If you are a local group and would like to be part of Tring Spring Fayre and organise an activity or event, Tring Together would love to hear from you.
Get Stuffed and Tring Together are proud to announce Tring's first ever Edinburgh Festival Preview Week - The Tringe Festival.
The Tringe Festival will kick off on 3rd July with a launch event in the town centre. Our plan is to take over Tring for the day! It promises fun and excitement for everyone. Events in development include street theatre and entertainment; story telling; children's workshops; face painting and balloon modelling; an attempt to get into the Guinness Book of World records and much, much more. Tickets for all of the week's comedy acts will be available to buy throughout the day.
The launch will be followed by 6 nights of comedy 5 - 10th July. We are in the process of putting together a fantastic programme, mixing well-known names with up and coming comedians. First acts to confirm are Richard Herring, Russell Kane, Tim Key and Alex Horne, Greg Davies and Josie Long.
There will also be an exciting Children's programme in the afternoons of the 6 days of The Tringe Festival, and will culminate in 2 outstanding events on the afternoon of 10th July.
The Tringe Festival will be very community focused involving local schools, businesses and community groups, it will also raise money for good causes - proceeds from ticket sales will go to local charities.
Full details are still to be confirmed and will appear in the June edition of Tring Living.
