MWF 2012 sees the biggest and most ambitious programme in our nine year history. This year we have formed partnerships with other local groups to bring you a great range of events – so thanks to Off Centre Theatre, Monmouth School Sports Club, Monmouth Library, Monmouth Museum, local schools and churches, Monmouth Fairtrade Forum, The Savoy Theatre and the Shire Hall. Thanks, also, to organisations and individuals who have generously provided sponsors, and to our resident artists, Izzy Davies and Marriette Voke.
I hope you’ll agree that MWF 2012 offers something for everyone – women, men and children – from theatre and sport to dining and dance.
So whether you fancy joining a creative workshop, exploring a hidden corner of Monmouth, listening to a fascinating speaker, or literally making a splash, there’s something here for you. Enjoy!
