Work has begun on the cultural extravaganza that will be New Mills Festival 2020 and we would love you to take part.
This year's theme is "Vision" (but you don’t have to go with the theme, it is just a suggestion to help with inspiration!). It's taking place from Friday 11th September until Sunday 27th.
Glossop Bookfest 2020 is planned for August (exact dates to be decided) and we need three or four more volunteers to make it a success. The venue will be close to Glossop’s town centre.
We plan to have stalls at which local authors can offer their books for sale, workshops on aspects of writing, and activities for children. Our volunteers will be asked to direct authors and visitors to the right rooms and to help with providing refreshments.
