PAW Fringe

Find us at our Beach Huts – open most days from 11.00am till 4.00pm
We will have two beach huts throughout the Festival just along from the Tourist Office and toilets on Swanage sea-front. We will set up shop and offer you the opportunity to have a go at making ceramic tiles (and possibly leaves for a community tree). Or maybe painting is your scene. In which case help create a large mural that will then decorate St Mary’s for our final Zimbe! Concert. Or what about being part of a Spider’s Web?

The Monuments folk group
Matt Tarling – violin workshop
James Hollingsworth
3rdthought Theatre Company
“The Sea” – words and music starring RSC readers, singers and recorder players

Autumn Chamber Music Festival

This was created to spread the PAW brand ‘out of festival’, following the three sucessful Autumn concerts that Natalie Clein had put on in 2012. In 2016 it evolved into the Purbeck International Chamber Music Festival (PICMF)

In 2013, there were two Concerts on the 5th and 6th of October plus a schools workshop on Monday 7th October.

PYA 2013

Purbeck Young Artists (PYA) is the children’s section of the Festival. Our aim is to nuture and celebrate the creativity of our young artists. Each year the PYA team encorage schools to explore a shared theme in lots of inspiring ways. The generosity of our sponsors allows us to pay professional local artists to go into schools and run creative worshops.

Community Art

In 2013 we created the Swanage Community Tree of Life mural on the sea front . . .

. . . and the Community Tree of Life and Laughter in Wareham Library Garden.
