Valley Arts Fringe Festival: The Chew Valley is alive with anticipation as the Valley Arts Fringe Festival continues, gracing the region with a spectacular array of performances until the 19th of November. This cherished annual event is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the community, promising to infuse the Valley with mirth, artistic fervor, and melodies that resonate.
Now in its seventh year, the Fringe Festival is a celebration of the power of togetherness. A diverse tapestry of events, ranging from comedic brilliance and theatrical wonders to community workshops and harmonious melodies, ensures that there is a piece of this artistic tapestry for everyone to relish.

Experience this enthralling performance in Chew Stoke on the 9th of November.
Families are in for a treat as well, with “Ernies Journey,” a circus adventure that blends magic and puppetry, taking center stage on the 4th of November in Compton Martin. “The Star Seekers,” an interactive space-themed show filled with songs, whimsy, and gravity-defying antics, will grace the stage on the 11th of November in Temple Cloud.
