There will be opportunities in every corner of East Herts for residents to try something new with most activities being free of charge.
There will be something on offer virtually every day in September and October and residents can find full details on the council’s website. The programme provides all the latest on the schedule of events as well as information on how to get involved.
The wide range of activities on offer means that there is something for everyone, whether it’s a one-off event, taster session, performance or exhibition. The programme includes:
• circus skills in Amwell End
• textile art in Buntingford
• painting in Bishop’s Stortford
• local artists exhibiting their work in Cottered
• decorative metal working in Green Tye
• theatre improvisation in Hertford
• painting and bell-ringing in Bishop’s Stortford
• candle marking in Little Berkhamstead
• interactive story-telling in Sawbridgeworth
• dancing in Ware.
Councillor Alex Daar, East Herts Executive Member for Communities, said: “This cultural extravaganza promises to inspire, educate and entertain while enabling our wonderful local artists and arts organisations to reach a wider audience. It will be a chance for people to get involved in something new, whether that’s taking part in an artistic or cultural event, workshop or taster session or simply going along to an exhibition or performance.
“We think everyone taking part will be delighted and surprised by the range of opportunities on their door step. We hope that Arts in East Herts will become an annual fixture of the local arts scene, giving residents of all ages the chance to enjoy the rich and diverse cultural life that East Herts has to offer.”
Arts in East Herts is supported by Government funding. Most of the organisations taking part have successfully applied for funding of up to £1,000 each.
