artsJAB Cinderford Spring 2022 – Forest of Dean Creative Showcase Festival – 7th May 2022

Saturday 7th May 2022, 12 – 5pm, Free Entry

Forest of Dean based creative organisations and creative community groups join together for a combined arts event celebrating the opening of The Wesley (Cinderford Methodist Church) as the new Arts Centre for the Forest of Dean.

This festival will bring local communities together and lift spirits, as well as celebrating the diverse and wonderful creative talent available right on our doorstep. The range of opportunities provided will encourage young and old, families, the vulnerable, elderly and socially isolated to get involved.

The event programme includes a parade along the central high street involving musicians, members of the silver bands, dancers, performers and banners. Performers representing their organisation in dance, music, theatre, poetry, film and literature. Stalls and practical workshops by a variety of creatives, and local schools invited to participate in the celebrations.

Canopy is arranging this event with the support of Cinderford Town Council and with thanks to funding from the Gloucestershire County Council.
