FESTIVAL PROGRAMME JUNE 2009
Fri 19 | Sat 20 | Sun 21 | Mon 22 | Tue 23 | Wed 24 | Thu 25 | Fri 26 | Sat 27
Our seventh
Festival has a water theme to celebrate our river, water meadows and
canal.
We hope we’ve
provided something for everyone with literary events, concerts,
exhibitions, fun on the green, workshops and walks, drama, tea time
sing-along and the children’s festival. As part of our expanded
Literary Festival we are proud this year to present a talk by Philip
Pullman.
The Festival
now spans two weekends with events in the evenings midweek. The
events are free unless stated. It is not a fundraising event in
itself, aiming only to cover costs, but if money is raised beyond
what is needed to stage the events, then donations are made to local
organisations.
