Hurst Festival Events

Hurst Festival 2012 runs from 15 to 29 September inclusive.

Here are some highlights …

On the opening day, 15 September, we’ve asked the whole village – all the shops, organisations, businesses and clubs – to open up and invite everyone to share their activities. There’ll be fun and games in the school field, music in the High Street, dancers on the Village Green and much much more. If we haven’t asked your group to be involved, get in touch now!

We are very honoured to be hosting a great exhibition of paintings by renowned wildlife artist and conservationist, David Shepherd, at Danny on the weekend of 22 and 23 September. He’s famous for his paintings not just of wild animals, but of historic railways, fighter aircraft and crews, and portraits. He has set up worldwide campaigns to save endangered species including the White Rhino and the Tiger. He will be talking about his life and work on the evening of Saturday 22 September at Danny.

There are walks around the village, and up Wolstonbury, rambles around the countryside, explorations to find local herbs.. There’s music of every description, three different plays, lots of films, children’s events, and two comedy evenings … and lots lots more.
