The Nailsworth Festival Committee is now able to announce the main features of the 2018 Festival. As ever, there will be entertainment and a market in the town on Festival Saturday (19th May) and then a week of acts, talks and activities designed to appeal to all.
The Temperance Seven, on their Diamond Jubilee Tour, will headline on Festival Saturday evening. Events across the week will feature the Tippett Quartet, “Votes for women in the Cotswolds”, Richard Eyre, Withering Looks comedy theatre, latin music and much more.
But the Festival is about much more than the major events with activities, exhibitions and workshops running across the week.
There is Funky Munky Music for very young children; a Footie Fest for youngsters between 8 and 16 and ‘Riding the Bounds’ for horse riders of all ages. A number of exhibitions will be held including ‘Education in Nailsworth’ and a ‘Quilt Show with Musical Interludes’. There will also be an exhibition by the artist John Furnival, as featured in last month’s edition of Nailsworth News. Stroudwater Textiles will be opening Gigg Mill and Dunkirk Mill.
New for 2018:
Egypt Mill will be putting on a Pre-Festival Party Night with one of Gloucestershire’s liveliest bands ‘The Bridge’.
Woodchester Valley Vineyard will be offering a special tour & tasting event to celebrate Nailsworth Festival and English Wine Week.
