Westbury will come alive with music, theatre and cultural events when the Westbury Festival returns this month.
Organisers promise there will be ‘something for everyone’ at the festival, which will run from 13th to 26th July.
Festival chair Lisa McGowan said, “Tickets are already selling like hot cakes for this year’s Westbury Festival, which returns to the town with a packed programme of entertainment, culture and community events.
“This year’s programme offers something for everyone, with many events available free of charge. From comedy and music to talks, theatre and family entertainment, the festival showcases a diverse range of performances and activities.
“Among the highlights is Radio 4 comedian Alfie Moore, whose unique blend of policing anecdotes and stand-up comedy has earned him a loyal following. Audiences can also enjoy What Wood Victoria Do? – a witty, entertaining show in the humour of Victoria Wood.
“Another standout event is An Evening of (Very) Old Radio: The BBC Then and Now with writer and comedian Paul Kerensa, promising a fascinating and humorous journey through the history of British broadcasting.”
Music performances across the two weeks include Pal Kirtley, the Belle Street Singers, Big Brass Ska, Moscow Drug Club and the Dulcet Quartet with their Bridgerton-style event.
A pre-festival Creativity Week will run from Monday 6th July to Saturday 11th July, featuring workshops and activities including perfume making, pinch-pot making, watercolour painting and an open art studio.
Hard copies of the full programme are available from Westbury Library and The Laverton.
Tickets can be purchased from the Festival Box Office at South West Hearing Care on the High Street.
