Funding has been approved for an African festival which will take place in Swindon next summer.
Central Swindon North Parish Council’s Finance and General Purposes Committee approved a £5,000 transfer to support the event.
The proposal was made by Cllr Joy Grotzinger and will fund the African Festival Community Event through EMR399, the International Festival reserve.
Members discussed parking near Pembroke Recreation Ground before suggesting Moredon Sporting Hub as an alternative venue.
The festival is planned for July 2027. The committee resolved to approve the transfer.
Further arrangements, including the location, remain under discussion.
Earlier this year a cultural festival took place at Moredon Sporting Hub.
The event, organised by Central Swindon North Parish with the backing of the office of Will Stone, MP for Swindon North, celebrated the variety of cultures and activities in the area.
The event included a variety of activities, food, and refreshments, along with live entertainment.
