subject: Planning Ahead For The Holt Summer Festival [print this page] This year saw the second-ever Holt Summer Festival, a week of art, music, drama, comedy, street entertainment and more which took place during the last week of July. As those who frequent Norfolk luxury hotels will know, Holt is a lovely little place, home to all sorts of shops, galleries, pubs, cafes, restaurants and bars, and it also boasts a fantastic theatre, The Auden, which is at nearby Gresham's School.
As you can imagine, Holt is therefore perfect for a weekend break Norfolk and with the annual Summer Festival getting bigger and better each year, it's worth planning ahead now for next July. Perhaps the best part of this year's event was the quirky street entertainment, which included everything from clowns and magicians to singers, and those staying in North Norfolk Hotels were no doubt surprised to see brightly-dressed performers playing imaginary instruments and Shakespearean actors giving renditions of the Bard in Budgens!
The team behind the Holt Summer Festival tries hard to include something for everyone and all sorts of activities were on offer for the little ones this year, too, from art and craft workshops to lessons in how to be funny. And there was also plenty on offer for the grown-ups, from the stand-up comedy nights to a host of marvellous music. Although only in its second year, this year's Holt Summer Festival attracted the famous jazz guitarist Martin Taylor and his group, Spirit of Django, as well as the renowned St Martin-in-the-Fields orchestra.
There were also some very interesting exhibitions and presentations, including a series of wildlife photographs by BBC Springwatch presenter Chris Packham and a fine art exhibition by the legendary Rolf Harris. Indeed, visitors to North Norfolk hotels were spoilt for choice this summer and Holt was packed to the rafters with holidaymakers coming to take in the sights. So if you're interested in the Arts and are keen on North Norfolk, make a note in your diary now of next year's Holt Summer Festival which is scheduled to take place again during the last week of July.
