Artsfest, the annual free arts festival is on 10-12 September this year, so not long now.
Most of the details are yet to escape but there’s a few bits and bobs to be found. The general theme will be ‘Landscape and Heritage’ and the latest copy of Forward has some info about some of the bigger items:
- Folk Dance Fest – Birmingham Royal Ballet will be going for a ballet dancing world record as part of their 20th anniversary celebrations
- Classical Fantasia – CBSO doing their thing (populist classical music and film scores, I’ll wager)
- The Land of Fairytales – street theatre happenings from the Hippodrome
- Kerrangfest – with The Twang, The Young Guns and Elliot Minor confirmed so far
