Celebrate a feast of arts and crafts within the 10 Parishes, on show and to try yourself. In 2007, the 10 Parishes Festival runs from 8th to 16th September.

The 10 Parishes Festival runs every second year to celebrate the rich variety and high quality of arts and crafts found throughout the 10 Parishes area.

There are almost 100 events, covering paintings, photographs, drawing, sculpture, jewellery, pottery, poetry, theatre, music, film, circus and much more. Opportunities to have a go, or just appreciate other people's talent and creativity. Everyone is very welcome to come along and join in. Most events are free.

Work from amateur/hobby participants to internationally-known professional contributors is included, and some articles are for sale.

We are working on creating a fantastic festival for 2007, and if you need further information or are able to contribute in whatever way, please do not hesitate to contact festival organiser Pauline Homeshaw on 01984 624564, or email homeshaw@btopenworld.com.
