Romsey Arts Festival 2011

Barry Marsh

Welcome to the Romsey Arts Festival 2011 and to what promises to be an exciting fortnight.

The programme, once again, offers the chance to enjoy a wide range of music, drama, literature and the visual arts. There are new events and new venues and we hope to see you at many of them - for locals and visitors alike there is something to inspire everyone, regardless of age or background.

Romsey Arts Festival is rare amongst festivals in that it features amateur and professional artists, almost all of whom live in Romsey or its surrounds. Furthermore, the events and exhibitions are organised independently by individuals and local groups, not 'bought in' by the Festival. The result is a showcase for local talent with a unique Romsey flavour.

I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who has made the Romsey Arts Festival possible especially the members of the Executive Committee and our Festival Sponsors. The success of the Festival depends on the people who attend the events - you! So please bring your families and friends and join in the fun.

The Executive Committee and I hope that you enjoy the 2011 Romsey Arts Festival.
