The 2008 Festival was another success for the Town in spite of the sad death of Humphrey Lytttelton and the violent thunderstorm which curtailed Sir Brian Rix's performance - although he did finish in dim torchlight. Many thanks to the Performers, the Festival Committee, the Open Studios Organisers and the many helpers for contributiong to another successful Festival. Here's looking forward to next year!

Community Arts
The Festival encourages the community to be active in the Arts.  This year's activities for young people include the annual Eisteddfod; professional theatre performances during school hours and school visits from writers, lecturers and poets. The Festival includes a celebrated local choir featuring local musicians; concerts for the elderly in their own residential accommodation and exhibitions of work by local artists in their own studios.		  

The Festival Committee is grateful to the many Sponsors, supporters and volunteers
without whose help the Festival could not take place.
