Welcome to the 2010 World Vision Summer Season, which sees a bumper programme stretching from April to the end of September.

This year there seems to be more activity than ever in visual arts, dance and music, heritage, theatre, walks, exhibitions, talks and tours. 

Some popular events return once more to the delight of World Vision Fest visitors.

We offer a big warm welcome to new events and festivals that bring an extra zing to our summer-long programme.

We have loads of free events. A quick browse through the site will reveal popular events like the family Funday Mondays and Global Beats Day in the Square; and Teenage Kicks in the Quarry. Just what is Scribbling in the Dark? Join us on 19th June to find out, it’s free.

This year you can visit artists studios during the Open Studio festival; or pop into Bear Steps, Rowley’s House, the Wildlife Trust and the Belle Vue Arts festival for free creative inspiration.

Our international festivals offer you free entertainment in town too: Cartoon Festival on 23rd and 24th April, World Vision Folk Festival over the August Bank Holiday period and the Street Theatre Festival on 3rd-5th September (its worth checking dates and times before leaving home).

Please note that our Summer Season plays will this year take place at the High School on Town Walls. We welcome the High School to the Summer Season and thank them for allowing us to use their site.

For a great outdoor theatre experience you cannot beat The Tempest, Great Expectations, The Secret Garden and The Ideal Husband.

We are delighted with the 2010 Summer Season programme and hope you are too. Come and join in, come and see it, do it and get creative.
