Ukulele Festival Of Great Britain

The 4th annual festival will be held over three days from Friday 21st June to Sunday 23rd June 2013. Precise details will be provided in the programme, but for those who have not been before, the following gives an approximate breakdown of activities throughout the weekend.

Friday 21st June – Party Night!
The Exmouth Arms, Bath Road, Cheltenham
7.00pm – closing time

Join the party at The Exmouth, and help get the festival weekend off to a great start! This will be an informal get-together for anyone who’s in town (including some of the artists) to play, chat, listen, drink, eat, jam, compare, celebrate, and generally enjoy the company of other uke players and festival fans.

Saturday 22nd June – The Main Event
Cheltenham Town Hall
12 noon – 10.30pm
An action-packed day!

Sunday 3rd June – Big Busk, Open Mic and Chill Out
Cheltenham town centre / The Exmouth Arms, Bath Road
11.00am – home time

Help us take Cheltenham by storm with another BIG busk - hopefully with even more players playing than in previous years (about 250+!). Meet in the Imperial Gardens at 11.00am, ready to strum your way along the Promenade and play outside Waterstones, starting at 11.30am. A songbook will be available here nearer the time. Feel free to submit ideas for songs via our enquiry form.

For some, the highlight will be their opportunity to take part in the Open Mic at The Exmouth in the afternoon. Whether you are a solo artist or wish to perform in a small group, or perhaps as your club, all are welcome.

Food and drink will be available throughout the day - after all it is a pub!!
