"We have been spoilt with two Artsreach events already this year, both of which drew record numbers. Approximately a third of our audiences are from the local area but many people travel considerable distances to attend which is a testament to the quality and calibre of the performers that we are lucky enough to host.

Nick and I have been the Artsreach promoters in Drimpton for the last 6 years and we love being part of such a great organisation. In addition to promoting the shows, we regularly host the performers which is one of the most enjoyable parts of the role, although it can mean some very late nights post show as they often take a while to unwind!

Thank you to everyone who came to the events, your support is much appreciated and is what enables Artsreach to keep going! Do have a look at the Artsreach programme for other events happening here or in nearby villages and watch this space for news of our next event."
