Welcome
2009
There's More To Come!
This year’s festival fortnight offered a varied and wonderful array of themes including; Shakespeare, Darwin, the Big Issue, ghosts, current affairs, Casanova, Roald Dahl, human rights, Pompeii, murder mystery, illusion, blogging, the cosmos, Tony Blair and Dennis the Menace! There was a treasure hunt, drama workshops, poetry readings, salsa and the legendary annual quiz, while children from local schools were treated to delights ranging from The Roman Mysteries to intergalactic capers.
The festival fortnight may be over and the bunting has been brought down, but there is more to look forward to in 2009. Our new extended programme promises a year-round series of author events in Oundle and elsewhere in Northamptonshire. Tickets are now on sale for events in June with Kate Adie, Will Self and Rupert Shortt and the festival will have a presence at the re-launched Oundle Carnival on 20 June with storyteller Shonaleigh, as well as a presence at the Wellingborough Party in the Park on 5 July with performance poet Rob Gee.
