Bluehouse Festival
3rd Bluehouse Festival 21st to 31st October 2010
Following the resounding success of the 2006 and 2008 Festivals, Oxted United Reformed Church in Bluehouse Lane again sponsored a varied programme of musical, dramatic, literary and artistic events in 2010.
The Church has been able to sponsor this wonderful celebration of the arts for a third time through the generosity of the late Irene Snelling, a lifetime Limpsfield resident who died in 2004.
Highlights of the 2010 Festival included an evening with well-known poet Roger McGough, the return of the acclaimed Kosmos string group, Johan Katz and the Barn Sinfonietta (with a suitably Halloween-themed programme), and the usual mix of entertainment and thought-provoking authors and speakers. International virtuoso organist Carlo Curley put the church's 'baby organ' through its paces in inimitable style.
We are delighted that the 2010 Festival organisers, Rachel Wilks, Sylvia Carpenter and Katherine Saunders, have agreed to stage the 2012 Festival from October 28th to November 5th. Details will be available in mid-2012. Contact email: thefestival2012@hotmail.co.uk
