… and all who are taking part as the Festival’s performers, artists and helpers.
 This is, above all, a truly
local Festival. Almost every one of the activities and
events draws on local talent and encourages us to
appreciate the wealth of such talent we have in our
community. We have music, theatre, art and comedy to
delight you. And you can join in too: it's about You
exploring your own talents - discovering abilities and
interests that have maybe lain dormant awaiting this
opportunity to shine out!
We have many acts that are new
to the Cookham Festival - a modern jazz evening, a stand-up
comedy event, an outdoor sculpture park, performances by
some of our best young bands and our first rock
concert. And we have attracted some award-winning
performers who, of course, have close links to Cookham and
the surrounding area.
We have tried to make it all
as accessible as possible: there is something for every age
and many tastes. And we have aimed to keep the prices
at a level that allows you to attend as many activities as
attract your interest.
The Festival closes with an
all-day event on Cookham Moor: we hope that the whole
community will come out to enjoy this. During the
daytime it's free with lots of fun activities for all the
family, leading up to our spectacular rock concert with Nick
Heyward and a number of local bands.
As in past years, we expect
that many of the events will be sell-outs so do book early,
especially for the rock concert on the Bank Holiday Monday.
Above all, get involved. Attend some of the workshops,
use your voice at Cookham Sings! and visit some of the more
than 20 local artists who are opening their studios to us
all. And if you can spare some time to help, we can
use it! Click here to offer your support.
The Festival only happens
every two years: make the most of it!
