Glaisdale's second Mini-Arts Fest is being held this Saturday, 22nd June, as a wonderful opportunity for amateur writers and performers of all sorts to show off their talents.
The festival is built around the winning songs, stories and plays from 3-Minute Arts' national writing competitions held earlier in the year - with the day's programme augmented by local music groups (both children's and adults') wide-ranging in styles, a drama generated by the wonderful Everwitch Theatre in a recent children's workshop, and even dancing from the Glaisdale Cloggers.
Held at and around the Robinson Institute in Glaisdale, the several stages allow the audience to choose from a rich mix of performances along with more intimate and / or interactive sessions such as storytelling, fortune-telling, poetry-writing, 'musetry' - and even Japanese marbling.
The day's session starts at 11.15 with doors closing at 5pm. Only to open again at 7 for a somewhat more relaxed but still varied evening programme with the Fylingdales Folk Choir, Jazz with Glenn Brown and Mark Wakefield, The Marigolds, Sons of Sheila and Doomfolk.
Entry to all parts of the festival is by 'pay as you can' donations, with daytime and evening festival food and bar provided by Egton's The Supper Club.
This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.
A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
