Loughborough Town Centre
Sun 14th Jun 2009
9.00am to 5.00pm

Loughborough’s fabulous annual streets arts fair has a distinctly French theme this year as Streets Alive becomes Rues Vivantes!

An all-day French Market will be catering to all your Gallic needs while a Craft Market, also running all day, will be spotlighting the work of local artists, ceramicists, glass workers, jewellers and textile artists. In addition, there will be a host of dance, singing, recycled art and woodcarving workshops for everyone to join in. Charnwood Arts`s Art Zone workshops will be just the thing for children aged 8-14 years.

The Markets open at 9.00am and at 12.00 noon the streets really come alive with a packed programme of dancing, music and comedy acts. The music will range from Ska and Jazz to African drumming and the fabulous Mighty Zulu Nation!

Dance and acrobatics are supplied by Chinese ribbon dancers as well as Irish and Indian dance groups. There will be singing from the `Devoted Gospel Choir as well as the winner and runner up of this year`s Charnwood’s Got Talent contest, Blue Horizon and Kieran Fowkes.

Among the 80 performers will be a roving balloon modeller and a puppeteer for the young ones, street theatre for all ages and a saucy French accordionist for the older ones.

Local artists will be performing alongside national and international talent in three performance areas running right up until 5.00pm. Don`t miss it!

Streets Alive! is jointly organised by Charnwood Borough Council and Charnwood Arts and is supported by the Loughborough Town Centre Partnership

Glastonbudget is now in its fifth year and, as the name suggests, is a budget weekend music festival that’s not to be missed. A great small to medium sized festival that rivals any of the bigger festivals in true tribute style.

Glastonbudget began in 2005, with a gathering of 18 of the top tribute bands from aroundEurope. Since then it has grown and grown and is now the biggest and best tribute and new music festival in Europe. This year we are all hoping it will be even bigger still.

Glastonbudget includes over 100 new acts and a wide range of alternative entertainment. All in all it makes for a cracking weekend!

In true Glastonbury style the weather did not let us down last year and the rain macs and wellies were to be seen in abundance but with a range

of music marquees, food and beer as well as the main stage no one was daunted. If you want to see some of the best of your favourite music at a fraction of the cost in a friendly, community atmosphere and sample the best of hundreds of auditioned New Bands then this is the festival for you!

This year’s festival has a special Oxjam tent and a host of dressing up clothes…
