It is with enormous regret that we will not be going ahead with the Spring Festival because of Covid-19. We are following Government guidelines, and protecting our team, speakers and audience. If you have bought tickets and not yet been refunded, please call the Festival Office on 01789 470185.
The cancellation of the Festival, and the subsequent loss of ticket revenue and donations, is having an enormous impact on us and our outreach work. The Festival is a charity and if you felt able to donate to support us, we would be very grateful.
Our WINTER WEEKEND is scheduled for 20th-22nd November and we'll be back then with a brilliant programme. In the meantime, keep well and safe and we look forward to seeing you soon!
