The Arts and Crafts section of the Festival is open to anyone wishing to submit their work, with the aim of presenting a wide range of our rich local artistic talent.
Over the festival weekend there are exhibitions, demonstrations, an art market and craft fair, and from the 2nd to the 16th September numerous shops and businesses have given over their wall and window space to exhibit the work of painters, printmakers, photographers and crafts people.
