Festival Programme Now on Sale

The 2012 Milford on Sea Arts & Music Festival programme went on sale in local shops on Saturday 23rd June.

The programme contains a wealth of information about the Festival weekend and most importantly raises some of the money that the organising team need to continue to provide a free event.

To ensure that everyone buys one, the price has been maintained at £2.50.

The big news is that the Internationally regarded “Counterfeit Beatles” will headline Saturday Night. The guys are a very special Beatles Tribute band that provide a fantastic set, playing all the classic Beatles hits that everyone knows and loves. The free festival once again brings together the best local talent with some from further afield to provide a unique experience for locals and visitors alike.  The event is free to attend and there will be events taking place on the main stage, in the licensed marquee and at various places around the village.

The annual Arts and Music Festival has been running successfully for 11 years and celebrates and promotes the high quality and sheer number of talented local people involved in music and the arts.  As a registered charity the festivals raison d’etre is to promote art and culture in the local area, and to give an outlet for performers of all kinds to promote their art and to develop cultural understanding for all.  Any excess profit from the festival is donated to support local charities within and outside the arts.

The festival will something for all ages and tastes from Thursdays Folk and acoustic evening to the classical finale on Sunday afternoon.  Everyone is welcome so bring your family and enjoy all that is on offer this year.

The Music Festival is also fortunate to be supported by local sponsors, who of course would love you to support them – that way everyone in the village wins!

Milford on Sea Arts & Music Festival: From Thursday July 12th to Sunday 15th 2012.
