Organisers of the 10 Parishes Festival are holding an open meeting in preparation for the event.

The meeting will be held on Friday March 10 at 7pm in the Wiveliscombe Community Centre. All artists, venue and parish organisers and volunteers are invited to attend.

The festival's director Pauline Homeshaw said: "If you are a creative or a performer, come along to an Open Meeting at 7pm on Friday March 10 at Wiveliscombe Community Centre to find out more."

"The Festival is in its 20th year and each year attracts more artists and visitors to our town and the villages that surround us.  The 2021 event raised £55,000 for participating artists – the highest level since the 2003 Festival. We look forward to meeting up with you on 10th March for a sharing and convivial time!"

The festival of visual and performing arts is set to span two weekends, from September 9 to September 17. It will feature performances, artist's studios, the Wiveliscombe Street Market and a carnival procession

The biennial event is returning this year following the record breaking 2021 festival which raised £55000 for participating artists.
