Café Culture: Tuesday 24 April, Best of British and Winchester Festivals, eighteen71 at 6.30pm
Winchester is very much a city of festivals, with over a dozen ranging from film to fashion and from Hat Fair to the Writers’ Conference. From May to October in the City there are creative events to join and watch and the Festivals in Winchester group brings together these events via on and offline marketing, stewarding and logistical planning.
On Tuesday 24 April at Cafe Culture the various festival directors, with chair of the group Chris Turner and Ellen Simpson (Head of Tourism for Winchester City Council) will talk through the range of festivals in the city by way of a multimedia presentation followed by the usual question and answer session.
Come along and join as at eighteen71 (the Guildhall café on the Broadway, opposite Blockbusters) on Tuesday at 6.30pm for a free drink and excellent company!
