To view the festival programme just click on this image of our front cover, a painting of the singer-songwriter Claudia McKenzie by Royston Arts Society (RAS) member Vivienne Machell,
Vivienne’s painting was selected after a competition amongst RAS members to paint an image suitable for the programme based on the festival theme ‘Arts In Motion’. You can see many of the other entries for the competition in an exhibition in Royston Library running from Tuesday 3rd September to Monday 7th October. Claudia will be performing live at our Gala In The Gardens on Saturday 28th September.
