Watton Festival promises something for everyone
From magic Punch and Judy shows to a Viennese gala evening, this year's Watton Festival is promising something for everyone.
From magic Punch and Judy shows to a Viennese gala evening, this year's Watton Festival is promising something for everyone.
The bi-annual event has grown consistently over the past eighteen years and festival chairman John Kerr has pledged that 2009 will be the best ever.
He said: 'We hope this year's programme will be even better than the last Festival held in 2007.
'The committee has worked constantly since the end of the last festival and we are trying one or two new events - a film for young people and an evening of humour.
'Our dance event is again offering two new areas of dances not seen before within the festival.'
Two films will be shown during the festival, children's favourite Wind in the Willows and black and white classic The Philadelphia Story.
