Events / Harleston & Waveney Festival
|
The Queen’s Golden Jubilee in 2002 saw the start of our community Arts Festival, with participation from young and old, professional and ‘amateur’, experienced and those just beginning to explore the arts. Since then there has been a steady enlargement of programme, participation, and interest from many far-flung places. Many strands and styles of music are represented, with youth groups, marching bands, and concerts. Partnership in outreach work with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields is now a highlight, bringing these world famous London-based musicians into schools, and in contact with all ages.

Art
of the highest standard has always been exhibited in this Festival;
pottery and textiles, watercolours and oils - all appear both from interest
groups and full time artists who create an Art Trail and ShopArt in
the windows of Harleston’s fascinating shops.
