The formula is still one of walks, exhibitions, talks, workshops, plays and music events but also includes an Art Trail, which gives local artists the opportunity to open their homes and studios to show their work. Another popular addition in the Secret Gardens Programme, through which local people open their gardens to festival goers. The festival also always makes a point of focusing on events to include children. In 2016 the name of the festival was tweaked slightly, to reflect more accurately what the festival does, and became the Fowey Festival of Arts and Literature. Despite Daphne du Maurier's name no longer being in the festival title she is still a vital part of the proceedings. We can now confirm that the dates of the next Fowey Festival of Arts and Literature are 6th - 14th May 2022. We will being you news of what you can look forward to and link you with the festival website, so that you can be completely up to date with all festival news. | Read more...
