One of the things we love most about the Ventnor Fringe Festival is the extraordinary variety of shows taking place.
As you flick through the programme, there’s an amazing choice of intriguing events taking place.
Once such event that caught our eyes is Birdwatching in Madtown. Being performed twice on Saturday 13th August, the hour-long, family-friendly event is a mixture of music, storytelling and acting.
Not much has been heard from Madtown since the Edinburgh Festival of 1987. Recently however, tourism to the area has fallen into decline and a new initiative by the local Ornithological Society to encourage visitors back to the town has been introduced.
As a consequence, and for a brief period only, you are cordially invited to come Birdwatching in Madtown.
Experience first hand the songs, stories and rhymes that comprise the magic of a much loved local pursuit.
We love the fact these guys have even created a Visit Madtown Facebook Page.
Where, when and how do I book?
Performances (suitable for all ages) are being held at 1pm and 3pm at St Catherine’s church in Ventnor on Saturday 13th August.
Tickets are just £5 and can be booked online or bought in person from the Ventnor Exchange on Church Street.
