Dancers, musicians, and artists will be taking to the streets of Stafford for the town’s 3rd Arts Festival on 7 September 2013.
It’s time to get into town and enjoy a massive range of fantastic arts activities, craft workshops and performances.
Street performers, musicians and dancers will be creating a carnival atmosphere and exhibits and arts sessions will be running at various venues across Stafford.
Feel the beat of a Latin American atmosphere in Market Square, conjured up by the live music, samba drummers and dancers of Art Brazil, while those interested in a more cultured offering can experience the free guided tours and uncover the history behind some of the Staffordshire county town landmarks.
