Sadly,
Ross Carnival is over for another year. However, there are
still many events taking place in and around the town during
the coming week and I'm sure there will be something amongst
this week's events that will appeal. Please note that the
events contained within this article are featured in order
of occurrence and not preference.
Ross
Heritage Centre is currently hosting an exhibition of the
works of Goodrich Village Art Club, which will run until
September 3rd and can be viewed during normal Heritage Centre
opening hours.
For
those of you who enjoy classical music, Ross
Live are putting on a lunchtime concert at Ross Baptist
Church on Wednesday 8th August. The concert is a piano trio,
who will be performing popular trios by Hummel, Shostakovich
and Rachmaninov. Tickets cost £5 and the concert begins
at 1pm.
At
the same time, as part of the Ross Live festival, Heartbreak
productions will be running a theatre workshop at The Prospect,
where they will work with up to thirty young people on Shakespeare's
'Twelfth Night'. Tickets for this workshop are £5.

Bandstand. The audience will be treated to performances
by many local, talented bands and solo performers, culminating

If
you prefer something a little easier on the ears, popular
local duo, 'Little Sister, will be playing at The
White Lion from 8.30 pm and female vocalist 'Mitch'
will be providing the entertainment at The
Prince of Wales from 9 pm.
Sunday
afternoon's 'Bands in the Park' entertainment will be provided
by the Forest of Dean Brass ensemble. These events are quite
well attended when the sun shines, so lets hope for good
weather at the weekend.

Hannah Roper, aged 11, will be performing at Hom Church
