Description: A film celebrating arts activities in the borough of Enfield during the festival year of 1972. There is incidental film of the Enfield Festival itself in June of 1972 including a parachute display, a high wire act by circus performers, the Metropolitan police motorcycle display team, a military display by infantrymen and a number of dance performances including Estonian folk styles, Asian dancing and a costumed routine by schoolgirls from St Paul's school, Winchmore Hill. There are also some views about some of the stalls and displays, including the distinctive 'Tri-Sail' marquee that symbolised the event, the marquee for the London Borough of Enfield Arts Council and a marquee for the Women's Institute featuring hand-made articles and soft toys. Elsewhere there are stalls for the Group 12 theatre group, farm animals and an exhibition of musical organs from the collection of Charles Hart of the St Albans Organ Museum. Several other events in the borough, earlier in the festival year, are also covered. Rowantree School is the location for the summer show of the local horticultural societies arranged by the London Borough of Enfield Arts Council in collaboration with the Federation of Enfield Allotment and Horticultural Societies. The show includes displays of floral art arrangements based on the theme 'around our borough in springtime'. At Salisbury House there is a an exhibition by the Enfield Archaeological society presenting and displaying roman relics found on local digs. Broomfield Park in Palmers Green is the site of The Bubble Theatre's production, the 'London Blitz Show'. At St Monica's Hall in Palmers Green, the Risley Operatic group celebrate their 30th anniversary with a performance of 'Merrie England' (the comic opera in two acts by Edward German). A range of activity at and around the manor house of Forty Hall provides much of the year's entertainments. Several amateur theatre groups from the borough of Enfield perform 'The Shoemaker's Holiday', the Elizabethan drama by Thomas Dekker, in the house's grounds. Festivities of another kind surround the Procession of the 23 mayors of the London boroughs through the grounds of Forty Hall, when they are joined by a protest demonstration demanding improved road safety provision for children on Enfield's streets. The mayors led by London's Lord Mayor, Sir Edward Howard, and the Mayor and Mayoress of Enfield do their best to ignore the protestors. Forty Hall appears in a quieter mood, with coverage of the House's exhibition concerning the essayist Charles Lamb, a one-time local resident at Gentleman's Row.
