Hat Fair

Each Summer The Westgate School puts together an ensemble piece to to celebrate the annual Hat Fair.   

Last year over twenty pupils from years 7 to 9 practised a performance with the Red Zebra Drumming Workshop. They joined in the parade up Winchester High Street and to the Cathedral green, performing as they walked!

During the day we perform on the Cathedral Green and watch other Hat Fair participants. We have a good reputation with the fair organisers and are always asked to put together a significant piece. The high level of performance and the enthusiasm pupils exhibit when watching, reflects the positive attitude and engagement that is part of our school ethos.    

Overall the Hat Fair is a wonderful chance to celebrate tradition with the local community. We are already looking forward to next summer.
