are pleased to announce that former Arborfield resident and star of "X-Factor" Series 6, Danyl Johnson, will be returning to the village as our guest of honour, to formally open our 2019 event.
He now hosts his own Wednesday night Radio Show on BBC Radio Berkshire, and is delighted to have the opportunity be involved in such an important community event.
Danyl first came to fame when he appeared in The X Factor in 2009, with his initial appearance blowing away the judges,
Simon Cowell exclaimed it was "the best first audition I have ever heard", and he made it through to the live shows, eventually finishing in fourth place, just behind Joe McElderry, Olly Murs and Stacey Solomon.
More recently, he was one of the finalists to represent the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2017.
We are pleased to announce that due to the high percentage of "online" ticket sales, the Event Committee have made the decision to further extend the availability of "Early Bird" tickets until (until 23:30 on Saturday 1st June 2019 - subject to availability). Why not take advantage of the opportunity to purchase your discounted "Advance" tickets, and avoid the need to queue to pay on the day!
After the "Early Bird" offer expires, you will still be available to purchase your tickets through EventBrite, but without the advance discount. They will also be available to purchase on the day at the gate (subject to availability).
Tickets can be obtained either directly from the Branch Committee if you are local to Arborfield and can collect (please email tickets@mmc55.com to arrange your purchase), or
online, through
(* online purchases are subject to an additional booking fee charged by
for their services).
