With all the talk of government cuts, there is always a worry that the Arts will suffer. So we were delighted when Wycombe District Council informed us that they will continue to support our Arts Festival for this forthcoming season. We await confirmation of the extent of their support, but are extremely grateful for their continuing interest in the Wooburn Arts Festival. The nature of our Festival lends itself to such support. As those who have attended before know, we cover a wide range of Arts including many genres of music, a whole week of Spoken Word events and Art Exhibitions with many different exhibitors. Our events are open to all, with many of them having free entry. And we are able to attract World Class performers to Wooburn. We are really proud of what we do, but of course need your continued support to keep this Festival alive. So do look at our outline Events Calendar and mark your diaries now. Thanks Brian Johnson Chair of the Wooburn Festival Committee. |
