Tewkesbury Water Festival

 

Tewkesbury hosts an annual Water Festival which is now in its 11th year.

Due to withdrawal of funding, the festival for 2006 was a rather low-key affair in comparison to previous years, such as 2003 festival featuring jazz, oompah, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Cher and ABBA (the programme for which is listed below).

Events take place around Back of Avon, Red Lane and the footpath bewteen Quay Bridge (on Quay Street) and King Johns Bridge (on Mythe Road).
