Cinderford Arts and Crafts Festival

Take the whole family to Cinderford in the Forest of Dean this September, when the jam-packed one-day Arts and Crafts Festival gets underway.

The Triangle in the heart of Cinderford will be the setting for a busy Arts and Crafts Festival this Sunday 12 September 2010, thanks to local artist Christine Pond who runs The Gallery in the town.

Kicking off at 10am, families are promised a great day out thanks to a bouncy castle, face painting, art being displayed on the railings, plenty of stalls and, SoGlos.com’s favourite, a street chalking competition.

The Gallery on Market Street will be exhibiting local artists’ work, while there will also be mini demonstrations through the day.

Christine has also organised a programme of live performances throughout the day to include singers and dancers from local schools, and a drama performance by local actors.

As well as being a great reason to visit the Forest of Dean town, the festival will be raising funds for Hop Skip & Jump Centres – play and support centres for children with a life threatening illness, or special needs, and their families.
