What’s on

We are delighted that from 17 May we can bring great arts performances back to our rural venues this summer, with our delayed Spring season now taking place from late May through to July.

Again, it’s thanks to the efforts of our volunteer promoters, community venues and performers who have made this possible and we’re really excited to be bringing some great shows to a village hall or community venue near you as safely as possible.

As in pre-Covid times we’ve got the same great mix of live music from performers as diverse as
Captain of the Lost Waves to Bluegrass-pickers Flats & Sharps, dramas including
Old Herbaceous, Dispatches on the Red Dress and the powerful SOLD, family shows with the
Dinosaur Detectives and culinary-dance masterpiece Love and Spice.

New to this season is also the chance to get creative with some of our region’s most talented artists and makers in a series of workshops covering Lino Printing, Origami and Leather Tooling.
