With the festival now within touching distance, we are very excited to announce Hole & Corner’s full programme of live music, talks, DJs, artist installations and more.
Hole & Corner are now situated closer to the main house itself (in front of the ‘HAHA’), complete with a new layout that encompasses a larger marquee, a bar, a café from Yallah Coffee Roasters, and an outside area that will be a hive of creativity, music and fun.
ART:
We’re delighted to confirm that we’ll have two art installations this year; a ‘Totem’ by one of our favourite illustrators and artists James Joyce; and a unique interactive space from our long-time collaborator Steph Buttle (pictured above) and her partner Tim Gray called ‘re:pair’.
TALKS:
We will be hosting a 45 minute ‘in conversation’ style talk on Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 14:30-15:15 each day. On Friday we will be talking with Pete Wiggs from the much loved band Saint Etienne; on Saturday we welcome in writer and novelist Emma Jane Unsworth; and on Sunday we’ll be in discussion with the illustrator Rose Blake, who has also created an exclusive design to be screen printed across the weekend.
