Do you have an interesting, beautiful or quirky garden you'd like to open to visitors over the festival weekend? We are looking for local gardens to be part of a Larkhall Garden Trail.
Gardens will be open on Monday 3rd May and opening your garden will involve very little – just ensuring easy access and making sure your garden is free of obstacles. We'll provide a garden-trail guide and signage to help visitors find you.
If you're interested in opening your garden, please email gardens@larkhall-festival.org.uk for more information
Larkhall Festival is offering a 12 week course in Stand Up Comedy, with an opportunity to perform at the Rondo Theatre during the festival weekend. It’s free of charge to Larkhall residents and will be run by local resident, drama lecturer and Bath Comedy Festival Jester Pat Welsh. No previous experience is necessary and this is a fantastic opportunity to develop your confidence and communication skills and amaze your friends and family. Classes will take place on Sunday evenings and will begin in early February. Feel the fear and do it anyway!

5 ways is an exciting new community music project inspired by our village of Larkhall and led by local composer Lawrence Reed.
The project is all about participation – you don't have to be a good musician, anyone can join in! There will be school workshops to prepare, or you can just turn up on the day. The event is planned to culminate in a musical procession through Larkhall with 5 themes to represent aspects of Larkhall.
Photography, art, dance and video will also be used to create lasting multi-media and form a basis for 2011’s celebrations.
For more information visit www.lawrencereed.com/events02.php or contact Lawrence - l-reed@imcg-group.plc.uk if you're interested in participating.
This year Photography 2010 is inviting Larkhall's young people aged 4-16 to get out and about in our community with their cameras and mobile phones to capture images and moments on film. You can see last year's entries in the competitions section of the website - they were exceptional and set a high standard for this year! For more information and an entry form visit www.st-marks.bathnes.sch.uk or email photography@larkhall-festival.org.uk
