This year is no exception with a packed timetable filled with exhibitions and displays, talks and presentations, walks, tours, activities for families, special events and open days. As you will see when you look through this brochure or at the Festival website, which includes even more information about what’s taking place, this year also features a Food, Drink, Music and Performance category, as well as an increased presence for photography and the visual arts and a brand new Ale Trail. One of the things I’m most proud of is the fact that the Festival takes in so many different locations across Plymouth. From the city centre to the waterfront to the suburbs; and from museums, galleries and libraries to guildhalls, church halls and community halls. 1V2isit wViwsiwt .wpwlywm.phliysmtohriystfeorsytf.wesotr.wdoprrdepsrse.csos.m comforf ofur lflu dlle dtaeitlasi las nadn du suesfeuful ll ilninkkss! !
