Welcome to Adur Festival 2011
From
Friday 3rd June to Sunday 19th June 2011, the Adur District will come alive with
over 100 varied events, performances, exhibitions, workshops, arts and entertainment
for all the family - truly a fortnight of fun and festivities.
2011 is the 24th year of Adur Festival. The first festival in June 1987 comprised a few events and entertainment by local artists in Southwick, Shoreham and Lancing but quickly grew into the two weeks of June when Adur is alive with arts, performances, gigs, exhibitions, workshops, taster sessions, walks, concerts and many other events throughout the district.
Adur Festival is more than an ‘Arts’ festival as during the 24 years other events have become established events: World Oceans Day, the Food and Drink Festival, open days at Sussex Yacht Club, Southwick Indoor Bowling Club, International Neighbours Day, Donkey Derby, Lancing Carnival and an Environment Festival.
The Festival has something for everyone so use this Festival website and the Festival Guide to find the events you want see or take part in, and join in when Adur comes alive again this year
Adur Art Trail / Open Houses gives a chance to view local artists' works in various venues and private houses around the district.
