A monthly smorgasbord of poetry, music, art, dance and theatre.
Following on from the Literary Festival you’ll be chomping at the bit for our cultural kedgeree.
This month we welcome back Oving Folk
Folk from Oving who love to play music. Join us for eclectic and creative arrangements of timeless folk tunes.
We are an amateur ensemble coming together through strong friendships and a passion for having fun with music. We play and sing our own arrangements of folk classics reimagined with hints of jazz, blues, classical and gospel.
Oving Folk features voice, fiddle, cello, bass, guitar, keyboard, saxophone, trumpet, oboe, flute, whistles, recorders and bodhran……but not all at once!
Enjoy the breathtaking photography of Wayne Pilling who will be here to share recent shots of Cissbury Ring Ponies and more.
