General booking opens - all hell breaks loose

As I sit here sipping a cup of tea in the warm cosy kitchen in Barkham (the administrative hub of the Two Moors Festival) I spare a thought for Heather Uren who is busily answering the Box Office telephone. Public booking opened today and I don't think she's had a moment to herself all morning. What with the endless booking forms to trawl through and the relentless ringing of the phone, Heather must be slowly going doolally. At least she can never say she was bored!

'Music on the Moors' finds a new home

You have perhaps been wondering what has happened to the Two Moors Festival's Chelsea Flower Show Garden 'Music on the Moors'. Not to panic. The beautiful garden designed by Christina Williams (which not only won 'Best Courtyard Garden' and a Gold Medal) has happily settled into its new location at the Calvert Trust, near Exmoor. If you happen to be nostalgic for a Chelsea garden then 'Music on the Moors' is situated on a public right of way. Phew. One can't help but feel sorry for the team who had to assemble the garden back in May for the Chelsea Flower Show only to reassemble it two months later! Lucky for them it's here to stay.

Two Moors Festival welcomes Heather Uren

Heather Uren
As our 2010 Festival Friends only booking opens we gladly welcome Heather Uren into the administrative fray. Not only an incredible cellist and singer, Heather has just received a First from Christ Church, Oxford where she read music, and she now joins the Two Moors Festival in the build up to its October concert series. Definitely jumping straight into the deep-end, Heather is not only our new Box Officer (where she battles with the countless demands and requests for tickets on a daily basis), she is also tackling the beast that is Marketing. Clearly a glutton for punishment, Heather is now in charge of a vast number of Festival brochures which must be distributed throughout the Two Moors area. Lucky Heather!
