Godfest 2008

GodFest is a brand new community festival which is taking place in Godalming over the Spring Bank Holiday (23rd - 26th May 2008) bringing together elements of secular and Christian music as well as arts, performance and worship.

GodFest will utilise a number of Godalming's existing churches and church rooms for workshops and performances as well as a number of outdoor spaces most of which will feature Fairtrade cafes and/or bars.

The net proceeds from GodFest will be donated to the Christian based Trinity Trust Team youth project (TTT) in Godalming which employs 3 full time youth leaders and has over 30 adult volunteers who together run a variety of clubs, workshops and events for over 400 young people in the Godalming area. At all events there will also be a voluntary collection for the TTT.

There is all day entertainment (from Saturday 24th - Monday 26th inclusive) with arts events, performances, workshops going on in various indoor venues and outdoor places. There are three specific ticketed concerts and also an open-air concert at Godalming Bandstand on the Sunday from 3.00-5.00pm which will feature African singing, Heroes in Error, Jagged Intention and Mirrorhead.
