Watling Festival

Watling Festival was started by local Burnt Oak residents in 1996. Since then it has put on attractions like American line dancers, the chorus of River Dance, the BBC Big Band, a parachute jump by London Fire Brigade, Virgin Air Ambulance, a display of heavy duty horses, birds of prey, and stunt motor bikes.

The Festival in 2007 includes a helicopter attraction, a dog show with obedience and agility rings, and a festival of local young school bands. It takes place at Montrose Park, Montrose Avenue, Burnt Oak, NW9.
