Clare Magna Carta celebrations receive
£5,000 grant

Members of the Magna Carta committee in Clare were
delighted recently to discover they had received a £5,000
grant towards a series of community events in June.
The grant has come from the Magna Carta 800th Anniversary
Commemorative Committee which has been set up to provide
support and funding for activities to raise the profile of the
anniversary. The Commemoration Committee has also awarded
Bury St Edmunds £20,000 towards the ‘Our Liberty’ light and
sound trail. This was part of the £1m funding provided by the
Chancellor on 18
th
March last year.
Clare Festival committee member Keith Haisman said: ”We are
delighted to receive this grant which will add to the local
community support and engagement we have already received.
“Our programme of events really has something for everyone
and we look forward to many families coming to Clare and
taking part.”
The 800th anniversary of Magna Carta is of national and
international importance and is particularly relevant to Clare
because of the vital role played by the two Clare barons, Richard
and Gilbert de Clare. A series of events is being organised to
provide adult educational, school and community opportunities
to enjoy history, culture, entertainment and food of the period
as well as to learn more about this important phase in Clare’s
history.
During the run up to June 2015 there will be a newly created
Heritage Walk from Castle Hedingham to Clare, and Clare Library
will show a programme of films during festival week. The Friends
of Clare Library will also commission and complete a Magna Carta
Jigsaw. During the festival week of June 6 to 13 the events
planned include a musical concert of 900 years of sacred music,
a Study Day, a Taste of 1215 with mummers and madrigals and a
medieval banquet.
The culmination of the festival will be on Saturday, June 13 when
a procession around the centre of Clare will be followed by
medieval enactments, games and entertainment in Clare Castle
Country Park.
