Each morning, Zoe, Peter, and Evie from Inspiration Creative get all generations singing and dancing together – and wearing some very strange outfits. They are ably supported by our wonderful band-in-residence Giddy Yup and mayhem is provided by the Hooden Horses – the living embodiment of the festival logo and Clarence the Dragon makes a much-anticipated appearance too. We are delighted that for our 60th Anniversary Mick Scott will be joining in the antics at the Bandstand, having hosted the HHC from 2001-2017 he will be a familiar face to many.
Zoe and Peter are BSL Level 3 signers and will be using BSL throughout the week, encouraging inclusion for everyone. More details on their Facebook page for year-round activities with Inspiration Creative.
