As part of our Story of Sidmouth project, devised to strengthen the connection between the festival and local community, musicians from Wren Music recently visited Malden House Residential Care Home in Sidmouth for a Music and Reminiscence session.

Yesterday, we started working with students at Sidmouth College to create new folk songs based on memories we’ve collected from local people for 'Stories of Sidmouth', a project with The Sidmouth Folk Festival to celebrate the festival's 70th year. Full story is here: facebook.com/WrenMus
