During the months of June and July in pursuit of our theme, \u201cThat\u2019s Entertainment\u201d, there have been over twenty events including two Shakespeare dramas, fifty bands\/musicians, three choirs, three poets, six authors, dancers, art, sculpture, crafts, exhibitions, the \u201cAll Wales Comic Verse Competition\u201d, the \u201cSchools\u2019 Art and Poetry Awards\u201d, and a \u201cFarmers\u2019 Market\u201d (pause for breath).<\/p>\n
The Festival has been wide in scope, big on ambition and high in quality \u2013 with most events free!<\/p>\n
I think we can safely say it was a success.<\/p>\n
For those who supported the Festival \u2013 too numerous to mention \u2013 we salute you! \u2013 The artists, performers, exhibitors; our sponsors and partners; our volunteers who answered \u201cthe call to arms\u201d; our Committee Members who worked so hard for a year to make it all happen; our visitors from far and wide; and the Community of Caerleon who came together to create and enjoy their Community Festival. Thank you all!<\/p>\n
Do not despair you do not have to wait a year – there are events for you in the Autumn \u2013<\/p>\n
