2010 CANTERBURY FESTIVAL : 16th to 30th October DID YOU ENJOY LAST YEAR'S CANTERBURY FESTIVAL? Or were you one of the hundreds who were too late to get tickets to see Alastair McGowan, Fascinating Aida or the St. Petersburg Symphony Orchestra? You didn't hear what Michael Winner, Lesley Caron or Charlie Boorman had to say in their talks? You didn't know an extraordinary theatrical event was taking place in a caravan in Whitefriars? You didn't rock up at any of the fabulous folk , rock and world music events at the Festival Club or visit the homes of the dozens of professional artists who were exhibiting their work? Now if you'd been a member of The Friends of Canterbury Festival, you'd have had advance notice of all the 300 or so events during Festival fortnight and you'd have had the chance to buy tickets before they went on sale to the general public! Shame not to join really. Join The Friends now to take advantage of the above benefits. 2010 Friends events will see a 'Night in Little Italy' and an Open Garden with Music, plus our Gala Evening of Poetry & Music. Everyone has a chance to become our fourth Festival Poet of the Year : Entries before 15th May 2010. Set of rules and entry forms, and Friends application forms available from the Festival Office and website.
