NORTH Coast Arts is delighted to be expanding its arts activities with many new events planned for Bude over the next year, plus a live arts programme down the coast at Wadebridge Town Hall.

The first visit to Bude by the inimitable Dr John Cooper Clarke on November 7 is already sold out, but there are tickets still available for other events.

The autumn season starts on Saturday, October 26, with Fleetwood Unchained at The Parkhouse Centre, David Mynne’s ‘Dracula: The Vampyr’ at The Falcon Hotel on Wednesday, October 30, and ‘Bude Roots 2’: a celebration of five local singer-songwriters (plus a quickfire music quiz) at The Parkhouse on Friday, November 22.

Looking forward to Christmas, North Coast Arts director, Richard Wolfenden-Brown said: “As summer swiftly melts into autumn - can we be the first to wish you ‘Nadelik Lowen’ (Happy Christmas!) as we welcome the highly regarded O-Region Theatre with ‘Nadelik’, their delightfully interactive 50 mins festive show for children and adults, aged three to 103.

“Based on ‘A Christmas in Cornwall’ by Craig Barr-Green, it includes live music, songs and endless festive cheer. The family show is at 6.30pm at The Parkhouse Centre on Thursday, December 5 plus a 2pm matinee for schools.

“Our final Bude event in December is ‘Christmas at Ebbingford’ a magical hour of carol singing with Bude Metric Brass and Lizzie Hobbs and a festive treasure hunt for all the family, with all proceeds going to Bude Foodbank and Shelterbox.”
