Arts festival just around the corner
There are now only a couple of weeks to go until an extravaganza of
culture hits Bassetlaw.
The ‘Fabulous Arts in Bassetlaw’ (FAiB) festival is an initiative, now
in its second year, conjured up by Bassetlaw District Council to help
promote art amongst local people and celebrate the diverse artistic
talent in the area.
The event will run from 4th-19th July across the whole of the Bassetlaw
District with major attractions occurring in Retford, Worksop, Misterton,
Sutton-Cum-Lound, Tuxford and Mattersey.
Some of the many FAiB activities already confirmed include a production
of ‘West Side Story’ at the Majestic and a performance by ‘Black
Umfolosi 5’ – a world famous Zimbabwean song and dance group – at the
Acorn Theatre.
Eloise Short Quartet will also be performing at Worksop Town Hall on 4th
July. Eloise Short has been singing in live bands around Sheffield, the
UK and the World for over seven years. At twenty-six she finds herself
enjoying a more mellow type of music and as well as writing her own
songs, has a passion for jazz. You can buy tickets to see ESQ for
Worksop Tourist Information Centre – 01909 501148.
Councillor Keith Isard, Cabinet Member for Community Prosperity, said:
“There are just two weeks left until the Fabulous Arts in Bassetlaw
festival. This year’s event is going to be even bigger and better than
last year’s. There really is something for everyone, including
workshops, music performances, exhibitions and a craft fayre which will
take place each Sunday in Retford Market Square”
“The aim of the festival is to address important issues such as
regeneration and learning as well as to increase the range and number of
opportunities to participate in the arts throughout the district.”
