The 2010 Loughton Festival runs from 13 March – 3 May 2010. Loughton is in Essex, and is on the eastern end of the Central Line tube, some 30 minutes from the centre of town. Buses come into the town from Essex, Walthamstow and Ilford and it is near the M25 and M11. There are 1,300 acres of Epping Forest in Loughton and some of the events are held at High Beach.
The programme includes:
Art: three art exhibitions, and an art event in the heart of Epping Forest where you can watch artists at work and have a go yourself. For the children, the same event will offer art and craft activities.
Architecture: two talks (Sir Frederick Gibberd and Sir Frank Baines) and a six-week class about early ‘Essex Houses and Landscapes’. The venues are all five minutes walk from Loughton Tube Station.
Literature and Creative Writing: Dr Tony Williams will present 'The greatest place in the world': Dickens, Chigwell and Barnaby Rudge on 17 April, followed by readings of other once famous Victorian writers' including Arthur Morrison, WW Jacobs and Hesba Stretton, and Edwardian and Victorian Songs by Carl Murray (baritone). There will also be a creative writers event on another date. Please check the website.
Charity raising: every one of our events will be raising money for the £100,000 hydrotherapy appeal by Oak View Special School and Dream Factory, a charity that makes the dreams of seriously ill children come true.
