This is our fifth Summer Festival celebrating the talent in our midst as well as bringing professional artists, musicians and theatre to add an extra sparkle to our programme. We have introduced "one-off" events this year, in the spring and autumn, so watch for the publicity. Our second hand book stall at the Saturday market (in dry weather) raises extra funds to help meet overheads, so pick up a bargain; we're delighted to receive books too.

In 2008 the Festival will stage, amongst other things, a variety of exhibitions (including the"Walking Art Gallery" displaying work by local schools in shop and office windows throughout the town), concerts, poetry & literature events, history walks and numerous workshops. During the festival The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain will perform at the Headmaster Porter Theatre.

Tickets may be purchased by post (booking form below), or in person (on Saturdays in June from 9.30 to 12.30 from Arts Fram member in The Crown Hotel entrance hall).
