Ashby Arts Festival 2012 - 27th May to 4th June
Now that last year's festival is a fond memory from the distant past, our attention is firmly fixed on how the seventh annual Ashby Arts Festival is going to entertain everyone in 2012 ...
The Festival headlines so far include:
Lucy Ward and Green Fortune
Following last years sell out performance, Ashby Arts Festival is proud to present BBC2 Folk Awards Nominee Lucy Ward and local band Green Fortune for another year and another stellar evening!
JumpJiveSwing Blitz with The Jiveoholics
Also to return to the festival this year is the JumpJiveSwing Blitz event. Recognising the positive reactions to 2011's swing dance evening we felt it would have been cruel not to bring the event into 2012's festival calendar!
Open Art Competition
Whatever your skill level, favored medium or subject of choice, we want to see you exercising your artistic abilities! The Open Art Competition is an opportunity to exhibit, sell and even win prizes for your art work.
Outdoor Art Exhibition
And of course we would never forget the very thing that makes our festival so unique, the spectacular Outdoor Art Exhibition that can be found adorning the buildings of Ashby de la Zouch.
