Arts Alive and
'The Big Weekend'
Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 July 2012
Arts Alive is delighted to be collaborating with Dorking and Leatherhead Town Management Partnership and Mole Valley District Council to co-ordinate town centre Olympic celebrations and is looking for arts groups, performers and exhibitors to take part.
The celebrations will coincide with the men’s and women’s Olympic Cycle Road Races as they pass through Mole Valley on Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 July respectively and the Olympic Torch Relay on Friday 20 July.
With thousands of people expected to attend, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for arts groups and individuals to showcase their work. We are particularly looking for artists who can help with our ambitions to create a carnival-style atmosphere in Dorking and Leatherhead town centres and keep the crowds entertained, for example performance artists such as jugglers, mime artists, and a variety of music and dance performances. We are also open to suggestions and ideas for street entertainment or other ways to get art involved in our Olympic celebrations.
If you or your arts group is interested in getting involved in the Olympic celebrations please complete the short application form and your ideas will be considered. If you have any questions about the events or need assistance completing either form please call 01306 879188.

The 2012 festival will be slightly shorter than usual and will take place during the last two weeks of October from Saturday 20 until Wednesday 31 October 3012. This is due to the festival’s involvement with the community celebrations around the Olympic Cycling Road Race weekend on 28/29 July 2012. More information about how to take part in the festival will be released in due course.
