GREAT prizes await audiences at bigger, better British festival in Manila
Food, fashion, film and fun await you at the bigger and better GREAT British Festival 2015.
The British Embassy is bringing the Best of Britain back to Manila for another Great weekend with the bigger and better Great British Festival from 27 February to 1 March 2015 at the Bonifacio High Street in Bonifacio Global City!
There will be new ways for those attending to get involved and win great prizes. A different show every night will thrill audiences at the ampitheatre - 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.
British Ambassador Asif Ahmad is inviting everyone to join the three-day celebration:
