Warwick Rotary Thai Festival this June

Warwick Rotary Club partners with Magic of Thailand and a trusted format of traders, dancers, musicians and monks, to bring the sights and sounds of the orient to the town.

Last year’s event saw thousands enjoy two days of music and dance accompanied by a variety of Thai foods.

The festival will run from 10am to 6pm on Saturday and Sunday, with the racecourse hosting Buddhist monks, Thai boxers, dancers and musicians. Plus, there are plenty of stalls selling Thai food, drinks, spices, crafts, and massages.

Buddhist Monks start the festival off with their ceremonies, and the traditional reception of gifts from the traders. On stage throughout the day will be a top class presentation of Thai culture, with dancing, lady boys, music, Thai boxing and cookery demonstrations.

Tickets are on sale for £5 each (under 15’s free) in advance on-line from Magic of Thailand website, www.magicofthailand.co.uk or you can buy on the gate. When you buy tickets online, you get free entry into the raffle to win a flight ticket to Thailand (prize draw takes place at the festival at 5pm on both Saturday and Sunday.)

The event is supported by Warwick Castle, Startin Kia Warwick and Tourism Authority of Thailand, with Warwick District Council advising on delivering a safe event for everyone. Rotary proceeds go to charitable causes.
