Wombles Arts Projects at this
year’s Music Festival
Keynsham Wombles will be litter picking at the Keynsham
Music Festival again this year. Alongside this they hope to
run two arts projects.
These will be dependent on grant funding and if that is
approved, there will be a creative
making table at the Keynsham
Womble stand and three animal
themed recycling bins nearby.
The making table will be use
household rubbish to make sea
creatures. Anyone who wants to
can join in and there will be no
charge.
Makers can take their creature
home with them, or leave it with
the Wombles to hopefully be put
on display in the Library/Town
Council Offices.
The bins will be designed and
made by the Wombles and they
hope to use them at events after
the Music Festival as well.'
Economic Impact Report reveals Festival’s value
Keynsham Music Festival’s
directors and B&NES Arts
Development are delighted at
the results of the survey of
the
Festival’s
economic
impact in the community
carried out by the Audience
Agency last summer.
The
Audience
Agency,
employed nationwide to evaluate arts funding and spending
for the Arts Council and local
authorities, calculated that the economic activity generated in
Keynsham by the Festival amounted to £462,120.00. This
indicates a return of 8 to 1 to the community on the £60,000
cost of mounting the Festival – a return ratio deemed excellent
by any Arts economic reckoning.
Money brought into Keynsham and spent in local businesses
on the Festival Sunday, that would not have otherwise come
into Keynsham, was calculated as £42,721.00. These figures
compare very favourably with other UK festivals and will hopefully contribute an increased local support of the Festival by
funders and businesses.
The full report will be made available on the Festival website,
or on request.
Festival 2015
Meanwhile plans for this summer’s Festival, 29th June – 5th
July, are advancing and will be aiming to take full advantage
of new developments in Keynsham. Events can be expected
during the Festival week that will focus on Market Walk open
spaces and The Space in the Civic Centre. Also very much on
the drawing board are plans to make use of the Festival
facilities for the whole Saturday in the Park – looking to
maximise use of structures and offer opportunities for some of
the musicians and that have to be refused on the Sunday.
Plans are currently focusing on a folk dance and music event,
tion companies currently working in Keynsham. But there is
always room for more to join our regular supporters I J McGill
Transport and Waitrose.
The Festival continues to offer platforms for all kinds of local
groups and is particularly involved this year with Keynsham
Action Network and the Butterflies Voice project. Organisers
are particularly keen to increase the number of community
groups taking part in The Park on Sunday and is looking at
ways to make the logistics of this easier.
Above all Keynsham Music
Festival is about the total
involvement of the community and all enquires, suggestions and offers of help and
volunteering should be made
to [email protected]
or in person at the Town
Council Office in Temple
Street.

summer can be seen at

The Opera in the Park should feature tenor male voices for
the first time and hopefully the Monday night Festival opening
will grow after last year’s successful experiment.
Plans for the Sunday stage line-ups are well advanced and
promise to match the strength of last year’s music – with some
familiar faces and a few surprises too. The strength of local
and national original music is becoming more and more
impressive – as is the enthusiasm and receptiveness of our
local audience! Look out for more in the modern jazz area and
contemporary dance. The Festival’s reputation continues to
grow – not least among the musicians themselves among the
comments last year was the manager of Australian band Bela
Takes Chase who said that Keynsham was their fourth
Festival of the weekend, and was both the best organised and
the best hosted. That’s a massive thanks to the volunteers!
The state of potential funding and sponsorship for this
summer’s Festival is looking good at this point in time, with
new Keynsham businesses such as Grounded and Loungers
expressing a wish to be involved together with the construc-

CHILDREN’S
MARIGOLD
GROWING COMPETITION
Grow your Marigold in a
decorated recycled container!
There will not be an Art Trail this year and
Yvonne Halton will be stepping down from
the organiser's role. She has organised
the RAT for five years now and feels that
it is time for a change.
Free seeds available from the Town
Council Office or the Library
This leaves a question as to whether
anyone else would like to take over and
keep the Art Trail alive.
Bring your Marigold growing in a recycled decorated container
to the Town Council Office, 15-17 Temple Street, Keynsham,
BS311HF by 28th August.
Make sure your name, age and address are attached!
Winners of the competition will be informed by post and will
be invited to the prize giving in late September.
The job is a voluntary one, and is quite
time consuming. It would be suited to
someone who is enthusiastic and has the
enterprise and energy as well as the time.
If no-one steps forward to take over the
event, this money will be put to a local Art
project/charity. Any suggestions or
thoughts on this are welcome. Email:
