OAKHAM FESTIVAL 2009 is a celebration of the artistic talents of professional and amateur performers. We are proud to celebrate Rutland’s talent alongside highly acclaimed touring professional artists. This year the Rutland motto ‘Much In Little’ captures the essence of our Festival. Plenty of music, drama, art and laughter will be on offer throughout the Festival period, so book early to avoid disappointment.

We are so excited about getting started that we will be offering a pre Festival music event at the Merry Monk, featuring the fantastic Houndogs on Thursday June 11^th and tickets are free.

This year we will be celebrating local artists with a strong influence from the era of the forties.

The full programme of events can be downloaded here (if your printer supports booklet printing it can be printed on a single A4 sheet and folded to create a booklet)

Uppingham Fringe Festival 2009 will run in the week beginning June 2nd, with the Feast Day as its centrepiece on Sunday June 21st, from Noon to nightfall.

Oakham Festival is pleased to support Anna’s Hope charity again this year. Please give generously to this worthy local charity when they appear at different events.
