100 Years - Clowne Festival of Remembrance 2018

The hugely popular annual ‘Festival of Remembrance Service and Parade’ takes on even more significance this year.

 

With support from Clowne Union of Churches, Clowne Fellowship of the Services and 2nd Clowne Scouts Group, the Church Service will take place from 9.30am at St John the Baptist Church (S43 4AZ) on Sunday 11^th November 2018.

 

After the Service the parade will then muster at the Salvation Army Centre from 10.30am which is also located on Church Street S43 4JS.

 

All are welcome to take part in the parade, either from the Church or the Salvation Army Centre.

 

The parade will make its way to the War Memorial on Mill Street to remember the Parishes’ fallen heroes. At the War Memorial a special ceremony will take place with the laying of wreaths by a range of community representatives.

 

On the evening of Sunday 11^th November Clowne Community Centre is hosting its ‘Swing your Heart Out’ concert from 7pm until late.

 

The Community Centre will be given a period makeover and we have booked ‘Kalamazoo’ who are an excellent 10 piece Big Band presented in full US Army Air Force uniform as per Glenn Miller!
