Entries into this year’s Colsterworth Festival of Performing Arts are up by a staggering 20 per cent.
Dance was the first of four events in the 17th annual festival, which has steadily grown in popularity. It took place Friday to Tuesday at Charles Read Academy in Corby Glen.
A schools event will follow at The Meres Leisure Centre in Grantham on Friday, March 1, and then music and drama at several Colsterworth venues the following day.
Festival chairman Julia Kerby said: “We had an amazing festival. Grateful thanks must go to our dedicated committee for another year’s hard work and our fantastic team of volunteers.
“We received very positive comments on the festival from our adjudicator Gayle Johnson, parents and dance teachers.
“Charles Read is just a perfect venue for our festival - we would be bitterly disappointed to lose it.”
Delving into various elements of performing arts, the festival is deemed a wonderful opportunity for talented performers to showcase their skills.
* Spectators are welcome to attend the festival. An entry fee will apply. For more information, visit www.colsterworthfestival.co.uk
