Welcome
Thank you to everyone who supported this year's Portsmouth Festivities!
It was wonderful to see so many of our long-standing supporters alongside many new festival-goers this year. We hope you enjoyed it!
This nine day summer celebration of the arts across the city goes from strength to strength. We have had a cracking year with many sell out events, a wider than ever range of events and and record numbers attending overall.
We have had lots of laughs with The Now Show which was broadcast from the Kings Theatre, Ian McMillan and others and some magnificent concerts featuring internaitonal artists such as Natalie Clein and Charles Daniels, dance, writers Dame Beryl Bainbridge & Louis de Bernieres, high profile speakers Paddy Ashdown, Dr Jonathan Miller, General Sir Mike Jackson, and more events for children and families, exhibitions, education projects and a surprise appearance by jazz trumpeter Guy Barker with the Humphrey Lyttelton Band.
To see full details browse through the Event Information.
Exciting plans are under way for 2009 so come back next year to check these pages for details. If you would like to receive a brochure in the spring please email festivities@pgs.org.uk to be added to our mailing list.
