10 - 12 September - Dovedale Arts Festival

Lower Hurst Farm
Wetton
Ashbourne, Derbyshire
DE6 2AE
Phone: 07811 021189

The Dovedale Arts Festival goes from strength to strength and this September we hold the third Festival in the lovely setting of Lower Hurst Farm on the banks of the River Dove. Its barns and gardens, with spectacular views, provide the perfect spot for a convivial and stimulating weekend of music, talks, art and entertainment, fuelled by some of the best food in the locality.

Marina Lewycka, one of our guest speakers in 2007, called it the most enjoyable festival that Ive been to, and we have a more exciting a line-up this year than ever. We crack off on the evening of Friday 10 September with the renowned Allegri String Quartet playing an exciting programme of classical and contemporary music, after a private view of our artists exciting and innovative paintings and sculpture.

Saturday features Matthew Rice talking about his new book The Lost City of Stoke-on-Trent  a fanfare for one of the great cities of the industrial revolution, where he and his wife Emma Bridgewater run their supremely successful pottery business. The poet Christopher Reid, winner of the 2009 Costa Book Award, will read from his prize-winning and poignant collection A Scattering, and his recent comic tour de force A Song of Lunch. Thomas Pakenham, whose Meetings with Remarkable Trees made him a household name, will tell us the stories behind his fascination with trees and their significance the world over. And Stephen Venables, the first Briton to climb Everest without oxygen, takes us on another hair-raising journey, across South Georgia in the footsteps of Ernest Shackleton.

Lynne Truss and Robert Bathurst fill the evening with laughter and entertainment, performing a selection of Lynnes comic monologues, with dinner served in the interval

Sunday 12 September opens with Helena Newman, doyenne of Sothebys Impressionist and Modern Art business, talking about the nuts and bolts of the international art market: the discoveries and disappointments, the auction records set and broken, the sheer adrenalin of arguably the most glamorous business in the world.

Sunday afternoon conjures up many colourful lives. Miranda Seymour, who has written lives ranging from Henry James and Mary Shelley to Helle Nice (The Bugatti Queen) and Charlie Chaplins muse, talks about the art of being a biographer, and about her own controversial story set in nearby Thrumpton Hall, My Fathers House. Henrietta Heald tells the little-known story of William Armstrong, Magician of the North, a titanic pioneer of the Victorian age, inventor of hydraulic power, industrialist, entrepreneur, philanthropist, ecologist, creator of Cragside and, it was said, inventor of modern living.

The Festival is rounded off by Deborah, Dowager Duchess of Devonshire, discussing her just-published memoirs Look at Me! With Charlotte Mosley. The last of the celebrated Mitford sisters to publish her memoirs, this will be a long-anticipated and memorable occasion, and a glittering close to a memorable weekend.

Mappleton New Years Day Bridge Jump - 2011

This event happens each year on New Years Day at Lunchtime
Mappleton Village
Nr Ashbourne

This event consists of a number of teams of 2 people who paddle in boats down a 1/2 mile stretch of the river Dove by Mappleton and then jump off a bridge.

It doesn't sound much - but the Dove is one of the coldest rivers in the UK - especially on New Years Day !

Also the river is not exactly navigable in all parts of the course, so falling into the water happens! - They then have the bridge to jump off, which is 30 feet high and finally a small matter of a run of 500 yards to the pub.

Hundreds come to watch - what better way to spend the day sobering up.

Each year the event donates its proceeds to a local charity
