What's On in 2002

A First for the Festival! Three professional photographers joining forces to bring you a stunning exhibition, showing Denbigh through three highly individual lenses. Just admire - or seize your opportunity to buy a one-off image of the town.
Enjoy a summer afternoon in one of the area's most distinctive gardens, with the sound of a traditional jazz group in the background. Afternoon teas, plant stalls, a delightfully peaceful setting, and in support of a good cause.
Music, dancing, stalls and displays - a hive of activity in the centre of town. There's no charge to come and watch dancers and musicians young and not-quite-so-young, representing a wide variety of styles and traditions. Denbigh Midsummer Festival is home to all sorts of music - just look at the listing below and see the choice.
We are justly proud of our Gala Concerts: popular classical music combined with favourites from the 20th century repertoire - all performed in a festive atmosphere in a beautifully decorated Town Hall. This year will be no exception with the exciting young ensemble "Celticana", the classical string quartet with style. Come and judge for yourselves ...
Or for something different, why not pop up to the castle one evening (Monday 24th - Friday 28th) at 6 o'clock when you can witness the firing of the Festival Cannon? Don't forget your ear plugs!
