An action-packed programme of historical delights kicks off in Annan tomorrow with the launch of the town’s new summer festival.
The community-led initiative aims to celebrate the town and its rich historical tapestry, featuring artists and performers from all walks of life, united in raising Annan’s profile, as a must-visit destination.
Programme chairman, Richard Brodie, said: “Annan has always given visitors a warm welcome.
“We have quirky, independent shops and a veritable smorgasbord of eating places, but we would like to give our guests more experiences to encourage them to linger a little bit longer in our historic town.
“Our History Festival will bring our High Street and courtyards alive with stories and songs of yesteryear.
The festival will run until mid-September, and will be the start of what the committee hopes will be a positive new chapter in Annan’s unique and compelling story, an innovative community project, designed to enliven the past, building on successes and creating a brighter future for the town.
