Caldmore Village Festival

The first Caldmore Village Festival will be held on 29th-31st May 2010. The festival has been organised by local people and organisations and will be a multicultural spectacular taking place over the 3 days.

Caldmore is a multicultural area on the edge of Walsall town Centre. For many years it has been the natural home of Walsall’s artists and artisans from many cultures around the world, but it is also one of the most economically deprived neighbourhoods in Walsall.

The concept of the Caldmore Village Festival has been developed through to the creation of the Caldmore Village Festival Group. In this, its first year the festival committee has involved a wide number of community groups in planning for the festival and already local groups are pledging to organise a range of community cultural events leading up to the festival weekend and during the weekend itself.
Watch out for more details!

The Festival will incorporate a main stage which will have music and performances on all of the days from 12-8pm on the playing fields of Caldmore Community Primary School.There will be Music from many cultures along with Community performances from Caldmore Shines‚ lead by Darryll Prew and a Bollywood Spectacular lead by local Choreographer Jaimal Mistry providing a dance extravaganza.

Apart from the main stage events there will be many other festival activities. Lots of local organisations will be hosting events along with sports events including a 6-a-side football competition and Kabbadi and Stonelifting.

There is still plenty of time to get involved.
• If you are a local artist, performer or musician why not get in contact and tell us what you have to offer.
• If you are part of an organisation or a group that have a venue or something you would like to showcase we would like to hear from you.
• If you are just interested in coming to lend a hand there will be plenty to do on the days of the festival, from stewarding to giving out programmes and talking to people, so why not get in touch and tell us how you would like to help out.

Market stalls will be available to rent from us, if you as an artist or organisation want to produce something for sale or hand out information during the festival. These cost £30 a day or £75 for the weekend

    l think the Area needs to be sorted out before we have a Featival in Caldmore Area .

    The state of public Footpaths , Roads , Fly tipping it is the Worst in West Midlands and in Walsall .
    Vehicles always park on Public Footpaths in Caldmore . lam y Resident and have to always use the Road to walk on beacuse vehicles are parking on footpath.
    What l People going to think of Caldmore Area , it is Not save to have a Festival In Caldmore , just look at footpaths and Roads and Parking , Litter Rubbish .Don’t wnat my Family Giong here and there children comeing to Caldmore to Embrassed to ask them .
    the area should have been sorted Out First , before Festival was Decided .
    in Fact we had a Festival about 13 Years back told they was Going to improve area After Festival Nothing Happened , we are now hearing the Same , Just Talk .
    seem that people who are Organisong this are just making monies , and No Imrpovmente will be done in Caldmore , just watch and see , we have heard and seen it all before .
