Welcome to Leytonstone Festival 2009...
Welcome to the home page of the 2009 Leytonstone Festival.
The Festival will run from 4th July until 19th July.
The programme is complete and ready for you to download or collect - find out by following this link >>>
This year the Festival has a strong musical flavour, which is no great surprise as there are so many excellent musicians living in Leytonstone, and we are able to enjoy great music most nights every week.
And with top quality drama, comedy, talks, walks, films, with performances by local community groups and schools and with contributions from various UK and International stars, we can again offer the usual high standard and varied programme that is the Leytonstone Festival.
There are some excellent events that were submitted too late to get onto the programme, and these will be listed on the fringe.
We are very proud to work once again in partnership with the Leytonstone Arts Trail and the Langthorne Youthfest.
We would also like to thank our contributors, our volunteers and our sponsors without whom the Festival would not take place.
