On the following days the festival will have guided walks, cream teas, a ukulele workshop, talks and theatre shows. Why not dress up in Victorian or nautical costume to see the Nautical Naughties Night (or Mutiny on the Bountiful) by the LlandrindodWells Theatre Company? How about attending a servant’s ball or joining in with a croquet tournament?
The 28th International Street Organ Festival takes place at the Bandstand on the 23rd August along with a Vintage Fair at Rock Park.
On the final day there will be a Suffragette March and Demonstration with guest appearances from ‘Florence Nightingale’ and ‘Matron Alice Fisher’, a Grand Torchlight Procession and a Fireworks Display to wrap up the festival.
