Looking for fun things to do this summer? Look no further! The Crediton Heart Project’s Summer Arts Festival is back again, with its family-friendly programme of activities and shows, many of them free, promising something for everyone. We hope that parents and carers will have as much fun as their children by joining in the activities.
Running from 2nd to 9th August, the Heart Project has teamed up with Crediton Arts Centre and the Turning Tides Project to deliver our fourth Summer Festival, offering eight days of creative workshops, film screenings, theatre and music events across four venues.
The programme starts on Saturday 2nd August with a fun day of outdoor music workshops, performances and food at the Four Mills Garden and continues on Sunday 3rd August with a free open air screening of the musical Wicked in Newcombes Meadow.
The Festival then moves indoors for five days of creative workshops at the Arts Centre, when you can try your hand at all sorts of crafty activities from drama to mask making, pottery to felt flower making, crafting willow to making robots!
There will also be two ceramic workshops when people of all ages can come together to design and make tiles for a community mural which will be put up in the Arts Centre area to inspire creativity.
On 6th August there will be a matinee screening of the delightful Paddington in Peru at the Arts Centre and on the 7th a concert at the Congregational Church, when talented local musicians will showcase a wide range of musical styles.
The festival culminates on Saturday 9th August with Arts in the Park- a fantastic day of free activities in Newcombes Meadow, including street theatre, live music, circus skills, craft and drumming workshops, a craft fair, plus delicious food and drink stalls to keep you fuelled throughout the day.
Later this year, the festival will also offer outreach workshops tailored for community groups like Crediton Youth Club, Age Concern and Welcoming Refugees in Crediton.
Workshops are just £3 for under 16s, or £5 for 16+, the film matinée is £3/£5 and the concert is £8/£10. For more details and to book tickets visit: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/the-crediton-heart-project/
