New Mills Festival 2024 news of events

NEW MILLS FESTIVAL FIRST GLIMPSE
A reminder that New Mills Festival runs from 13 to 29 September 2024.

THE COMEDY OF ERRORS

Pedalling from venue to venue with all of their set, props and costumes on the back of their bikes, the HandleBards are a four-strong troupe of actors who are spending the summer bringing  environmentally sustainable Shakespeare to venues across the UK.

Join the troupe at High Lea Park, New Mills on Friday 2 August at 7pm for a bicycle-powered production of Shakespeare’s ‘The Comedy of Errors’ like you’ve never seen before.

When two sets of estranged twins are brought together on the same island, this classic comedy takes hold, with mistaken identity, music and manic costume changes a-plenty.

This is an outdoor production, so please bring a chair or blanket to sit on, a picnic to dig into, and dress for the weather (no umbrellas please)!

Visit http://www.handlebards.com to find out more!

Adult ticket £13.50, concessions £11.50, and there are family ticket options too. Tickets here: https://www.handlebards.com/show/the-comedy-of-errors-high-lea-park/

ANTIQUES, VINTAGE, COLLECTABLES & CRAFT FAIR
Looking much further ahead, to the Antiques, Vintage, Collectables & Craft Fair. This is on 29 September 09:30 to 3:00pm at the New Mills Leisure Centre and they are looking for stalls! Would you be interested in taking part? £25 for a single pitch, £45 for a double. Please get in touch with Nikki if you’d like a place nikki_duguid@hotmail.com.
