Festival 2028
This is the 160th Mark Benevolent Fund festival. A Festival Appeal is designed to last for 5 years or so within a province / district, and we have the advantage of knowing in advance when our Festival will end, and which charity we will be supporting, which enables us to plan in advance. It is then up to the Provincial Grand Master to decide when we start and that has been decided as 2028, giving us a 5 year festival.
The 158th Festival for 2026, held in the Province of Hampshire & Isle of White, has been very successful and the Festival Results booklet is attached below for you to read. It is highly relevant to our Province as it lays out the format and results of the festival, giving us an insight of what to expect and what has been achieved. Please do read through it, look at where the support is needed and supplied, and if you can, qualify as a Steward of our Festival in 2028 thereby enabling you to attend and celebrate with us at the Gala Event at the Grand Pier in Weston Super Mare, and by taking out a monthly contribution plan between now and June 2028.
