There is to be a date change for the annual Hilton Arts Festival. After much thought, consultation and weighing up of options, the annual festival will be held from 11 to 13 August 2023, with the Jongosi youth programme falling on 11 August. The organisers already have some exciting theatre, music, arts and craft ideas up their sleeves and suggest that the public mark the weekend in their diaries and book accommodation if travelling from afar. Details for applications will be on the website www.hiltonfestival.co.za in the second half of March.Festival Director, Sue Clarence, says, “Miss this year’s festival at your peril….and remember that in August there is less likelihood of rain or the blistering heat we experienced last year!!”
