Yesterday, during Business Questions, I asked for a debate in Parliament to celebrate and show thanks to the individuals who help put on community festivals right across the country, including Droitwich Spa’s very own Patrick Davis who started the annual Droitwich Spa Food and Drink Festival.
I told MPs that I will have the honour of opening the Droitwich Spa Food and Drink Festival on 22 June and praised its outgoing organiser who will be stepping down from the role this year. I then asked the Leader of the House of Commons, Mel Stride, whether MPs could have a debate to praise organisers and all of those involved in putting together community festivals, and to celebrate our food and drink, our heritage and our culture, and to show our thanks to the many people who do so much to make them happen.
