Posted by Culture Vulture in Art, Crafts, Events, Poetry on July 7, 2010
Creative Campden presents a rich diversity of creative talent for you to visit and enjoy. Artists, writers, jewellers, photographers and musicians are amongst the many to whom Chipping Campden is home. The second Discover Creative Campden Weekend will be held from 17th – 19th September 2010, with plenty to see and do and events to attend. More activities are being planned so do keep a close eye on our website – www.creativecampden.co.uk.
Some of the events will be free to enter at any time; others will be by ticket only. The suggested starting point for your Discover Creative Campden Weekend is the exhibition of works by members in the Upper Town Hall. Here you will get a glimpse of the creativity which exists in Chipping Campden. But this is just a taster; to really appreciate both the weekend and the creativity visit the open studios and other events and to be announced in a creative trail around Chipping Campden. On Saturday you can enjoy teas, coffees and light lunches, together with some crafts in action by Chipping Campden’s Country Markets, in the Lower Town Hall.
Events include Abstract Art is Rubbish, Creative Cows, Chocolate Workshop, Made in Campden, Throw Your Own Pot, Painting in Action, and many more.

Chipping Campden Literature Festival 4th – 8th May 2010
Our first festival ‘In The Margins’ is a short celebration of the art of writing and joy of reading, exploring the theme of what it is to be on the edge of society.
By offering lively, entertaining, and informative events including interviews with Man Booker and Orange Prize listed authors, a big book group, a panel discussion, poetry readings, lectures and workshops in various venues within the town, we hope to achieve a sharing of ideas on the solitary pursuits of reading and writing.
Authors and events include William Boyd, Patrick Gale, Amanda Craig, Adam Foulds, Samantha Harvey, Michael Arditti, Lindsay Mackie and Sheila Hayman.
The historic Cotswold market town of Chipping Campden is said to have one of the most beautiful high streets in the country and is frequently described as the “jewel in the crown” of the Cotswolds.
