Bridport Hat Festival 2010

Bridport Hat Festival BRIDPORT is to host the UK's first ever Hat Festival. The three-day event due to be held in September aims to be the world's biggest celebration of headwear and millinery. The plans have already excited some of the industry's biggest players with many agreeing to support the fledgling long weekend.

As well as themed talks and demonstrations the Hatfest will also include gigs, street theatre, workshops, exhibitions and competitions. There are also set to be a few surprises that will be revealed nearer the time.

Bridport Hat Festival is set to run between Friday 17th and Sunday 19th September 2010 at locations throughout the town.
