Hornby Festival 2011 celebrated a great 30th Anniversary!

We extend heartfelt thanks to all our visitors, members, donors, sponsors and volunteers for making this year so memorable!

The Festival kicked off with the Opening Reception, with a retrospective of our 30 years and a concert by members of the Purcell String Quartet, who performed at the first Hornby Festival, this year joined by Adrian Dolan and Andrea Neumann.

The anniversary line-up included folk, reggae/ska/pop, Afro-funk, fiddle and dance, and classical offerings on the main stages, as well as imaginative children's programmes. As in past years, Art in Unusual Places showcased the performers throughout the Festival, in magical spots around beautiful Hornby Island. See the 2011 archived programme for all the details.

We sincerely thank all the opening artists, our very talented friends and neighbours: Andrea Neumann, Breghan Smith, The Stowaways and Jill Candlish.
