Daventry Arts Festival 2012 – Friday 6 to Saturday 28 July 

Daventry Arts Festival is back for 2012 and organisers are keen to hear from anyone that would like to get involved. Taking place in Daventry Town Centre, from Friday 6 to Saturday 28 July, the Festival is the perfect platform for local individuals, groups, and organisations to showcase their talent, dance, sing, exhibit, demonstrate, perform, talk, walk and much more – just get in touch.

Daventry Business Partnership, the festival organiser, is planning to build on the success of the first festival in 2011 and make 2012 even bigger and better! Music, dance, food, drink, street entertainment, art, theatre, exhibitions, walks and talks promise to provide an action-packed 3 weeks of entertainment for everyone.

Sally Halson, Manager of the Daventry Business Partnership said: “If you are planning an event during the festival let us know and we can help promote it through the FREE festival guide. Alternatively you may be working on an existing activity that could coincide with it.”

Sally continued: “We are very excited about the festival and see it as a great opportunity to further raise the profile of Daventry and get more people into the town centre. It is a fantastic opportunity for local individuals and groups to perform or showcase their work. There is a lot happening in Daventry which we should be very proud of and the festival provides a great platform to shout about it. Already several individuals, groups and organisations are on board including Daventry Museum and Daventry Choral Society to name but two, however we are keen to get as many people involved as possible so please get in touch.”
