In the heart of our town, a beacon shines bright
For forty years it has served
Welcoming the young and the old
It’s a community forged in love’s pure light
Volunteers, radiant like stars in the night
With hands held out to help all who enter
In serving others they have found a place
They are the Festival Drayton Centre’s shining light
Their legacy has echoes through forty years
In their embrace residents find a home
Where love, compassion, tea and coffee are found
Truly a community of selfless volunteers
In trials and triumph the Festival Drayton Centre stood strong
It built a haven of care
Enter and burdens are lightened
Surely a testament to where belonging belongs
So, raise our glasses and our voices high
In honour of the Festival Drayton Centre, its volunteers
And forty years of true and pure service
Market Drayton cannot imagine you ever saying goodbye.
