Introducing Heather

It's official!  The 2018 Gap Festival will take place from 14 – 17 June. Save the dates, 4 amazing days are in store.

We have a new Artistic Director, Heather Dunthorne who is already deep in planning for 2018.
​
Heather says:
‘I was delighted to be offered the role of Artistic Director of the Gap Festival.   Patricia Williams will be a hard act to follow and I’d like to add my thanks
for her inspiration, hard work and dedication over the last four years.

I aim to build on the success of the past two Festivals and, with help from the rest of the team, ensure that 2018 will be another wonderful time full of entertainment and celebration.
Work on the 2018 Festival programme is underway and I can tell you that there will be something for everyone of all ages -  great music, inspirational speakers, comedy, new things to try out in a range of workshops, family fun and some unexpected sights around the village.  I hope you will find yourself spoilt for choice!
You’ll already have seen the first of our Festival ExtrA! events, an evening with Simon Evans. We’re planning more of these during the year so you don’t have to wait until 2018 to get into the Festival spirit!

As you may know, the Festival is run entirely by volunteers – from the governing board to those who help on the day. Without these generous, community-spirited people the Festival wouldn’t be possible. If you can help in any way, please get in touch. We need people right now to help us in the planning stages. Have a look at our Volunteers Page and get in touch if you’d like to get involved!
I look forward to meeting you.
