Music In The Meadow – Live Music Festival – Headline Act: Faustus

Music In The Meadow – Live Music Festival – Headline Act: Faustus

Music In The Meadow – Live Music Festival – 2021 Headline Act – Faustus Whitchurch has been growing it’s reputation as a music hub with many talented musicians living locally; this was exemplified during lockdown when a number of them took to the internet to do their best to keep us entertained during lockdown.

To celebrate the easing of restrictions and the return of live open air music, there couldn’t be a  better time to get some of these musicians together, to perform for you beside the River Test in the beautiful Fulling Mill watermeadow.  With the nationally acclaimed, contemporary “bloke folk” band Faustus performing as the headline act, it promises to be a fabulous evening of coming together…. (but not too close) and with great entertainment against a picture perfect setting. 

Full Line Up: 

Headline Act: Faustus Sony Dewfall Jacamanda Keith Bell Mick Browne

Tickets £15.  https://www.tickettailor.com/…/whitchurchconserv…/538087

Please note, this is an adult only event.

Food and drink available; bring a picnic blanket!

Whitchurch Children’s Festival – Celebrating Whitchurch’s Natural Landscape

Whitchurch Children’s Festival – Celebrating Whitchurch’s Natural Landscape

Whitchurch Children’s Festival – Celebrating Whitchurch’s Natural Landscape Saturday 31st July and Sunday 1st August 2021

Thanks to some generous funding from Arts Council England, Whitchurch Conservation Group will be holding Whitchurch Children’s Festival, a weekend-long festival of hands-on workshops and activities for primary school and preschool age children celebrating Whitchurch’s natural landscape. After more than a year of lockdown, it’s a much-needed opportunity to strengthen children’s emotional and social wellbeing, try out new and exciting experiences, as well as spend time with family and friends.

The festival’s family-focused programme is packed with an exciting range of activities including willow weaving, stencilling, art mural painting, pottery, jewellery making, wood whittling, dance, storytelling of Hampshire local folklore, Storytime and Rhymetime, music-making sessions: steel pans, taiko drums (and much, much more!) ——————————

Affordable weekend family ticket pricing We know days out can be expensive for families, so we have worked hard to keep ticket prices affordable.

A family ticket (2 adults and up to 3 children) costs £15 for the entire weekend. Once inside the watermeadow, all children’s activities are included in the ticket price.
