A New Performing Arts Festival has been launched in Haverhill in Suffolk in partnership with Haverhill Arts Centre and with financial assistance from Haverhill Town Council and Suffolk County Council. The inaugural Festival for Speech & Drama will be held at the Haverhill Arts Centre from Friday 21st November to Sunday 23rd November 2008. Plans to add Music and Dance the syllabus in 2009 & 2010 are already in place. Closing date for entries is 31st July 2008 with entries received by 1st July qualifying for a 10% discount. Copies of the syllabus can be obtained by emailing hssd@hotmail.co.uk or by contacting Samantha Tucker on 014440 714648. The Festival will be working with The British & International Federation of Festivals, who granted Haverhill Performing Arts Festival provisional membership in May 2008. The festival will be open to children and young adults from across East Anglia up to the age of 18years. The aim of the festival is to provide entrants with an opportunity to come together to perform and compete in a friendly and supportive environment in front of a paying audience, whilst being given an opportunity for further progression through the encouragement and advice of an independent, professional Adjudicator. The Chairman Samantha Tucker would be delighted to hear from any individuals, groups or schools who would like to take part.
