Welcome to the 2009 Blewbury Festival

My decision to suggest a Festival was based on 99% optimism and 1% experience; my aim was for it to be a traditional event using Blewbury talent and enthusiasm wherever possible and I am pleased to say this has been achieved.

Thank you everybody who has contributed in any way at all, and to you, reading this, we hope you will find several events during the Festival Fortnight that you will enjoy.
