   What an excellent project schedule for this coming summer, It’s especially noteworthy that it will coincide with the Olympic events, adding another “global celebration” to the summer activities in the U.K.

     This website only reports on this festival, it has nothing to do with its organisation. You must get in touch with the festival organisers – see their website.
