Tilly, Henry and Tom are all training on the Royal Academy of Music’s Musical Theatre course which aims to produce the theatre artists of the future.

WET THE TEA, A folk band from the north west, with many festivals under their belt, we are very pleased to welcome them to our Festival with a selection of their songs in their distinctive folk style. They blend Irish and English folk, roots and bluegrass with original songs with lots of different instrumentation.

A fish and chip supper is available (order in advance) which will be ready for the interval - £16 bookable when booking your ticket.

Bar available throughout the evening

 

This promises to be a great evening with top-quality musical performances from two superb groups.

Open Stage

Saturday 2nd May 2026, 10am - 4.30pm , Monks Barn, Hurley

Throughout the day Monks Barn will host all sorts of performers on its stage which has a resident piano – and that’s it!

 

Bring along anything you need – your sound equipment, drum kit, costume, your voice(s), instruments…..and perform!  You have about half an hour for your performance, but it is quite informal and flexible (within reason!). Bring your friends along and impress them.

 

There will be lots of people coming in and out, viewing the exhibition which will be in the Barn, and there will be refreshments available throughout the day, so there will be a buzz and a warm friendly atmosphere in which to perform.

 

Are you an artist? Sculptor? Photographer? Or are you creating other visual art?

 

Come to the Barn and exhibit your work. You will need to arrive at 9.00am to allow time to set up, and the exhibition will extend throughout the day. All stages, all ages of exhibit is welcomed.
