This page is dedicated to the 2011 Whitsuntide Festival, took place on Saturday 4th June 2011.

 

The 2011 Festival Queen Elect had been chosen - The draw took place at the unique 'Goosnargh's Got Talent' event on Sunday 28th January 2011, where the reigning Queen Miss Bethan Williamson selected a name from those putting themselves forward.

 

At the Festival, Bethan fulfilled her duty of crowning the 2011 Festival Queen Miss Pheobe Collin.
