Drama Festivals Conference 2010
The 2010 Drama Festivals Conference is to be held at the Lighthouse Theatre and Conference Centre, Kettering, Northants on Saturday September 18.
The theme of the conference, organised by the Guild of Drama Adjudicaors on behalf of the drama festivals movement, will be “Winning Festivals” and will include sessions, workshops and forums of interest to everyone involved in festivals at all levels.
The conference centre, a splendid venue both in terms of facilities and accessibility, is situated less than a mile from Junction 8 of the A14 – the main east/west route linking the A1 and M1/M6, and is half a mile from Kettering’s mainline railway station.
“The facilities are second to none,” says conference organiser Paul Fowler. “The conference amenities are really excellent and in house catering is a real bonus.”
In addition to the conference facilities the Lighthouse has a fully-equipped 600 seat theatre that stages a varied programme of local community theatre, touring production and music events.
A tour of the theatre will form part of the conference programme, and there will be an optional evening theatre visit as part of the fringe events.
The full conference programme including details of the headline speaker, and prices for delegates, will be announced in the New Year along with details of a new initiative for participating teams.
The town of Kettering – originally a Saxon settlement – is well served for overnight accommodation with several reasonably priced branded outlets nearby as well as a luxury hotel and spa and a number of reasonably priced Bed and Breakfast places.
