On Monday 6 October, Petersfield's Mayor, Councillor Chris Paige, held a fund raising event for his chosen charities - this year the Scouts and the Winton House Centre. 

He took the opportunity to thank all charities in Petesfield for their voluntary work which makes them the mayor’s 'people of Petersfield'.

We hear from the Mayor's speech and responses from James Kennard from Petersfield Scouts and Robert Venables of the Winton House Centre along with chair Dr Richard Phillips.

The Mayor also said the event marked the opening of the Festival Hall on 6 October1935.

There's more to be announced about the celebrations for its 90th year and we hear from Sean Ridley, the Venues Manager, of the Festival Hall and finding thee original plans.

This is Mike Waddington's report.
