Plans are now well underway for Melbourne Festival 2009. The fifth Melbourne Festival will take place from the 4th to the 20th of September, with the Art and Architecture Trail Weekend taking place over the middle weekend, the 12th and 13th September. The formula is broadly the same as previous years combining the best features from previous years with some exciting new additions to keep the Festival fresh. This year there have been an unprecedented number of applications from artists for selection for the Trail and we can guarantee that you will see work by a variety of artists who have exhibited before and the best of the new faces. 

Applications are already coming in from Artists for this year’s Art and Architecture Trail and we can guarantee that visitors will see broad spectrum of work by the most talented Artists in the Midlands. The closing date for Artist’s applications for selection for this year’s Trail will be 31st March 2010.

 

 

 

 

 

 



Melbourne Festival 2009 was very successful, with approximately 4000 visitors during the Trail Weekend. The weather was kind after a wet summer and the visitors, artists and organisers enjoyed themselves – the sunshine has been booked for 2010! This year the 1623 Theatre Company will perform their Olympic Shakespeare Workout on the Trail on Saturday 18th September, feel free to come and join in!

Also Bill Shone Leisure Centre will be transformed for the weekend with refreshments, the Melbourne Festival Shop, the Open Exhibition (details of which are an available on the Open webpage), and many other features.

Trail Badges are priced at £4.50 for adults, under 16’s free, Badges and Trail Guides are available on the day at ticket stalls in the Market Place, Castle Square, the Senior Citizen Community Centre in Church Street, the Festival Shop at the Leisure Centre and at Thomas Cook Memorial Hall in High Street , the Trail Badges provide free access to all venues on the Trail.

All work on the Trail is for sale and, once again, we will have the facility for artists and visitors, to pay by credit or debit card.

The proceeds from the Trail Weekend and the concert programme is used to cover the costs of putting on the Melbourne Festival, we do not make a profit and have to rely on volunteer help, sponsors and donations. If you would like to help, please join the Friends of the Festival by filling in an application form on the Friends webpage.
