Two Halves of Guinness   

Mark Burgess lively and funny play sees Trevor Littledale offer an uncanny portrayal of one of the worlds best-loved stars reflecting on acting, faith, family and his shattering insecurity, played to a background of the golden days of British film and theatre.

 We join Sir Alec in the late 70s, as Star Wars is set to become one of the biggest films of all time, featuring his iconic performance as Obi-Wan Kenobi. Amidst fears he will be remembered only as a Jedi, Sir Alec hadn’t counted on the involvement of a master spy…

 ‘A first-rate performance: this is a great piece of writing, directing and acting.’ The Latest Brighton

‘I don’t know what else I could do but pretend to be an actor.’ Alec Guinness

Thursdays Circus Workshop will be a fantastic opening for the whole 4 days- make sure you come along to the parade with Ali Oops and her bunch of little clowns/jugglers and Hatherleigh Silver Band.  The Parade through the town is at 7pm so come along and support them.

Thursday night continues with the Silver Band playing a set in the sqaure and then Edd Lane and Mariners Away playing in the George and The Tally Ho!

This will be a great night some come down and enjoy

the committee have been working like trojans to get things organised and have done a fantastic job.  We have a great line up this year and I wish that I could do all of the workshops myself. 

The music line up this year is second to none and I know that you will enjoy all 4 days. 

The Art Exhibitions see some talented Local Artists showing us their fantastic peices.  These artists are all part of the Devon Artist Network and they will play host to a fantastic Print Workshop in the Vine on Saturday, which is free and for all to enjoy you can stay as long as you like.

The long range weather for the weekend looks good at the moment !! but will keep checking.

St Thomas Gospel Choir on Sunday will now be holding a workshop in the morning (10am ) for you to come along and learn about gospel singing.  you will then be invited to join in the choir during the church service.
