This press release was published in the March Issue of Nailsworth News
As announced in last month’s Nailsworth News, among other main acts and events, we have secured Jonathan Agnew to speak at the festival. Needing no introduction to cricket fans, Jonathan is a renowned cricket broadcaster who has been at the centre of coverage for the BBC for over 28 years.
This year’s Festival will also feature some interesting local folklore and history. In Folklore of the Cotswolds, Kirsty Hartsiotis, regular columnist with Cotswold Life, will delve into the stories and traditions of Gloucestershire and beyond. While Dr Simon Draper will guide us through the rich and varied landscapes of medieval Gloucestershire, in his talk: Dark Ages to the Black Death in Gloucestershire.
There will also be a very full programme of activities and events on offer, and the full programme will be published in future editions of Nailsworth News and on the Festival website nailsworthfestival.org.uk. You can also follow the festival on social media.
