Wenlock Olympian Live Arts Festival - Wenlock Olympian Society

The Wenlock Olympian Society Live Arts Festival 2019

Don’t miss out – the closing date for entries is Tuesday 15th January!

The 40th Live Arts Festival will take place over the weekends 9th/10th and 16th/17th March. Once again the festival includes Instrumental, Vocal, Dance and Speech & Drama (including Creative Writing) classes. Entry to the various classes is open to girls and boys of school age, from Reception class up to and including Year 13 from Shropshire, Telford and wider afield. In a major development this year the Instrumental classes will be held in Holy Trinity Church, Much Wenlock instead of in William Brookes School – where all other classes will take place. As well as providing a fantastic performance space, this will also give pianists the opportunity to use the grand piano the Church has recently acquired.

The dates and locations of the various classes are:

Saturday 9^thMarch

Dance and Speech & Drama – William Brookes School
Instrumental performance – Holy Trinity Church

Sunday 10^thMarch

Dance and Speech & Drama – William Brookes School

About the Festival

Wenlock Olympian Live Arts Festival has taken place each year since 1979. Competitions were held in the performing arts as part of the original Olympic Games.

The Festival is held in March each year at the Edge Arts Centre, William Brookes School, Much Wenlock.

There are competitive classes in dance, music and speech & drama for children and young people aged 18 and under.

The Festival is organised and staffed entirely by volunteers

If you are interested in joining the committee or can offer any help on the days of the Festival, please do not hesitate to contact us on livearts@wenlock-olympian-society.org.uk
