OAKHAMFESTIVAL2012

15th June to 2nd July

Band-2-lrOakham Festival runs from 15th June to 2nd July and has events throughout these two weeks with the middle weekend in the Funky Tent at the Castle.

The festival launch is at the castle on June 15th and everyone is welcome to find out all the events and performances on offer this year. There is a glass of wine and our special orange and green festival nibbles.

In the Funky Tent at the Castle we are proud to have the Hound Dogs as our feature act. These well know and exciting performers will wow you with their music and movements. Not to be missed. They are being supported by Govennan, a superb Irish 4 piece band. The evening starts with a ceilidh and finishes with rock and roll.

The Big Band Bonanza is on June 28th in the marquee and the orchestral concert on the 22nd June. These are all performed by Oakham School and are a highlight of the festival.

There will be children’s theatre at the museum with a performance of Oliver Twist with a twist and a comedy night on June 30th. Rutland concert band are back and also music in the garden at the Wheatsheaf.

The full programme will be available shortly.
