Robert Dover's 2012 Olimpick Poster
|
One of the big highlights of this year's Games will be the world premiere of the Olympic 'Welcome Songs' by Eliza Carthy, Robert Hollingworth, I Fagiolini and a 150 strong choir led by Richard Stephens. This will be preceded by a folk concert at 3.30pm featuring Mawkin, Beth Thornton, Bethany Weimers and the Robbie Boyd Band.
The evening will bring the traditional sporting events like the Shin-Kicking and Tug-of-War and the upper level favourites in the arenas. At 9.45pm the Scuttlebrook Queen lights the beacon, fireworks colour the sky and then there is the moving Torchlight Procession to the Square in Chipping Campden where dancing in the Square concludes the evening at midnight.
REMEMBER YOU CAN COME & GO ALL DAY WITH YOUR WRISTBAND!
BUT NO ALCOHOL ALLOWED ON THE HILL
