MANILA, Philippines - The British embassy is bringing the Great British Festival back to Manila from Feb. 27 to March 1 at Bonifacio High Street in Bonifacio Global City.
A different show every night will thrill audiences at the ampitheater – acoustic performances, a fashion show, an orchestra, a cooking demonstration and many more. Each night of the festival also gives audience members a chance to win prizes ranging from One Direction tickets to roundtrip tickets to the UK.
The festival kicks off with the Great British Rockaoke contest, where aspiring contestants can submit auditions through FaceBook to clinch a spot in the live show and sing their way to winning roundtrip tickets for two to the UK via Etihad Airways.
“Our GREAT campaign celebrates the growing links between the UK and the Philippines, allowing us to interact and work with more Filipinos. Come join us again at the Great British Festival, there’s something for everyone. Shoppers, fashionistas, foodies, music lovers, film buffs, pop culture fans, car enthusiasts, business executives, students and travelers of all ages will all find suitable activities to enjoy,” said British Ambassador Asif Ahmad.?
Enjoy a British-style weekend outdoors at the Great British Festival. Catch the fashion show that features the summer line of top British brands available in the Philippines. Shop on Retail Avenue, watch open air cinema, see British-inspired musical performances by the ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra and other artists, and taste British food and drink.
