Day of the DebFest in Debenham to take place in September

Day of the DebFest in Debenham has brought people in the village and surrounding area together over the past three years. 

Organisers have confirmed the festival will be held at Sir Robert Hitcham Church of England Primary School, Brook Lane, having previously taken place at Debenham Leisure Centre in Gracechurch Street.

Robert Heald, who is part of the committee of volunteers behind the event, said lockdown created a "void" in the village. 

"They felt like there was a void [in the village] during Covid," he said of the original organisers, Zoe Hughes, Sarah Ainge and Michelle Dix.

"People couldn't see each other so they wanted to bring back that community spirit. Debenham is very community-driven. That is something we all love about Debenham and that is why we have been doing these events."

Mr Heald added the event has "grown every year" and that organisers are "very grateful" for the support.

It is promised there will be "something for everyone" at this year's event. 

There will be an activity area filled with a nine-hole crazy golf course, a bootcamp obstacle course, a bouncy castle and face painting. 

Children's characters such as Peppa Pig, Paw Patrol and Paddington will be making their way around the site.

There will be live music all day until 10pm, while there will also be two bars and food trucks selling a range of delicious food.

Debfest will take place on Saturday, September 7 between 12pm and 10pm.
