The Romsey Festival committee is inviting locals and groups of musicians, performers, craft makers and artists to take part.

The festival, running from Saturday, July 4 to Sunday, July 19, is reaching out to musicians, performers, craft makers and artists who have not already contacted.

A committee spokesperson said: “Romsey Festival is a well-established celebration of creativity and community, showcasing the rich cultural life of our town and surrounding areas.

“Each year the festival features a wide variety of events, including live music, theatre, dance, spoken word, visual arts, crafts, exhibitions, workshops, and family-friendly performances, held in venues and outdoor spaces across Romsey and the surrounding villages.”

Artists and performers of all styles and experience levels – whether you are an emerging artist, an established group, or part of a community or youth organisation – are urged to participate.

The festival places value on diversity, imagination, and a celebration of local talent.
