Dear all – we’ve had a great couple of Festival days, with amazing concert performances and great times at the Fete!
I can confirm we won’t be going on the planned walk today Sunday due to the extreme heat, but will take that route another time.
There will still be a music and song session in the White Horse from 2pm, and stand-up comedy in the Jolter Press from 3.30.
Whatever you’re doing, please keep cool and hydrated, and take care
£2 souvenir programmes with details of the performers are already on sale at Mitcheldean Library, and will be at the White Horse from today Thursday evening, the Lamb and Jolter Press Friday evening, the parish church at the Friday and Saturday concerts and at the Fete on Saturday. There is also a free handout with the Festival timetable
