Our Groups
​
Harleston's Future have a series of sub groups each responsible for delivering a different part of the overall programme.
Events
Harleston's Future run a series of events throughout the year starting with a Spring Fair to open the new season. The Antiques Fair welcomes traders from across the area and the Street Party is a chance for the community to celebrate together.
The Open Gardens weekend run in conjunction with the Garden Club is a highlight for many people and a chance to look at some wonderful design ideas and take inspiration for your own garden. Then there is the Food and Drink Festival and Christmas Market, Harleston is full of events to entertain the whole family. Read more>
Cinema
We show a film on the fourth Thursday of each month. This is screened in the Masonic Lodge, in The Thoroughfare, Harleston. There is a matinee at 14.00 and an evening screening at 19.30, doors open 30 minutes before. We have an interval, with ice creams, and a bar in the evening.

Seats are £4.00, payable on entry, but please book in advance at Harleston Information Plus, 01379 851917. Read more>
Flag Force
Harleston's Future runs an annual programme of flag displays in the town centre. Making use of the holders for the Christmas trees above shops along the main streets, these provide a continual use for an otherwise once a year display.
The programme has been so successful it has encouraged other towns to follow the lead. Come and see the original and largest annual display of flags. You could even try and visit Harleston and see each flag display during the whole year. Great fun for children of all ages. Read more>
Environment
Harleston's Future has established a local group called Swift Action as part of the national Swift conservation project. These amazing birds have shared our buildings ever since the Romans came to Britain. They still breed in our eaves and gables, but not for much longer, as modern and renovated buildings exclude them – we have lost half of our Swifts in just the past 20 years.
Harleston encourages the community to provide a safe haven for these wonderful migratory birds during their visit to these shores. Read more>
