This week's top 5 things to doIssue 232 | Maui Waui Festival
Thursday 26 August 2021
It's Bank Holiday Weekend and, unbelievably, we've nearly come to the end of the Summer. This weekend there are some wonderful events on, from the Maui Waui festival and All About Dogs Fair, to the Vintage and Modern Toy Fair and Summer Gift Fair at Creake Abbey. And if you needed another excuse to go to Sheringham Park for a scenic walk, this September the park is hosting the International Garden Photographer of the Year exhibition.
Maui Waui is a 3 day family-friendly festival of music, performance and arts. This weekend it is celebrating its 8th year, and it is fast becoming one of the area's most exciting festivals, pulling in accomplished and undiscovered bands and performers from all around the globe. The festival is taking place at Hill Farm in Gressenhall.
There's lots to do for adults and children alike, from watching world class bands, full circus shows, small upbeat bands, cabaret and comedy, to dancing, creative activities and a Maui's Got Talent talent show! Friday 27 to Sunday 29 August
