The irrepressible Friends of Acomb Green have announced that they hope to run an arts festival in the village on 20th July.

Venues being sought include Acomb Methodist Church, Acomb Library, Acomb Church Hall, Acomb Conservative Club, Acomb WMC, Gateway Church & Acomb Green.

It is hoped that the event will start in the pedestrian area on Front St where dancing and music may be played all day.

The organisers hope to incorporate painting, sculpture, mosaics etc. Craftsmen will be invited to show their skills in wood turning, carpentry, metal working etc.

Acomb Green might host a hog roast/BBQ talent competition with a couple of bands playing.

We’ll publish more details as they become available
