Our main efforts have been keeping the festival alive using Social media. We did not manage or feel it appropriate to run any events for the public, other than through Social Media. We did however run 4 very successful Ghost walks in Hinchingbrooke house in November, once Covid restrictions were lifted. All the walks were sold out very quickly. We were also able to sponsor later events at Godmanchester, A Roman activity day and the History of Godmanchester. We also helped pay for a mobile display cabinet for the local Museum, which we will have access to as well for future years. We ran another successful lego event for children at Ely Cathedral.
