APPLEDORE visual arts festival will be returning in June despite severe cuts across the cultural sector.

The Arts Council has given a vote of confidence to festival, now in its 14th year, which will follow the theme of Landmarks.

Sandy Brown, the festival’s founder, said: “This support from the Arts Council in a time of great competition for funds is a validation of the high standard of our programming, the top quality artists we attract, our inclusiveness, and the innovative events we put on.”

The festival will take place from June 7 to June 10 in Appledore and will include workshops in yurts along the quay and a number of exhibitions and events.

Councillor Andrew Eastman, for Appledore, added: “I am delighted at the news. In these austere economic times we have this wonderful uplifting festival to help us celebrate and to lift the spirit.”
