Hale's popular community street festival is back this spring, with Hale Fest 2026 set to take place on Sunday 3rd May.
Organised by Hale Watch, the volunteer-led event will be held in the village on Ashley Road, running from 11am to 6pm.
This year's festival promises live music, a wide variety of street food traders and kids' entertainment at the Bowling Green.
Returning sponsors and vendors include Sigiriya, The Elk of Hale, Benchmark Security Group, Bank Medispa, The Westgate and IWantPlants.
As in previous years, entry is free with a voluntary donation of £3 per person encouraged, with proceeds supporting this year's Hale Christmas lights installation.
In a change from last year, the 2026 event is dog friendly.
