Festival Events 07

Lots of events for you to enjoy this year and some that you can take part in! Programmes will be on sale from the information gazebo and there will be a team of army cadets on hand to help you find your way around.

Around the Town
There are craft and food stalls and food demonstrations using local produce. Watch out for the gazebos, there will be storytelling and poetry sessions over the weekend. There are also entertainers on the streets to provide a party atmosphere all around the town centre.

Arts & Crafts
If you visit the Resource Centre just off the roundabout at the top of King Street/Main Street you can buy a tea or coffee and browse the paintings on display and available to buy. Have a walk along to the First School further along Main Street and you will find art in action as the Coastal Art Group set about painting panels to make up a montage taking the theme of industrial heritage.

Giant Kites
At the south end of Seahouses opposite the golf club is a display of giant kites adding colour and spectacle to the event.
