MORE than 100,000 people will be packing into Chippenham over the weekend for the fourth North Wiltshire Festival and we trust everyone will have a good time.

The Gazette is delighted to be part of the team putting on the festival, even if only in a small way.

The breadth of entertainment and community involvement in the three-day festival is a testament to the diversity of the district. This weekend is a chance to be proud of what goes on in North Wiltshire and to celebrate what a great place it is to live.

It will also be a chance to have a good time with a host of bands lined up on Saturday night. Let us hope that once again the evening will pass off with everyone on their best behaviour.

We also urge everyone to buy a programme, 25p of the £1 price goes tom our St John Ambulance Appeal.
