I’ll start by thanking you, the public, for supporting last year’s festival. A big thank you too to all the activists who make it possible for you to enjoy the entertainment we provide. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank our past and future sponsors without whom the festival could not go ahead.

Another of the committee’s objectives is to encourage the local villages to participate, hence Pulham, Billingford, Redenhall and other local villages are all involved in providing this year’s programme.

Our continuing aim is to provide a varied programme of fine artistic performances for Harleston and other inspiring venues in our uniquely interesting and beautiful area.

The headline act this year is a Trumpet and Organ Recital by the world famous Crispian Steele-Perkins and the internationally acclaimed Adrian Lucas. Don’t miss this stunning performance on Wednesday 20th August at St Mary’s Church, Redenhall which will include the fabulous Haydn Trumpet Concerto. We will also hear St Mary’s organ playing jazz!

MONDAY 18TH AuGuST HARLESTON & WAVENEY FESTIVAL 2014

ON THE BRIGHT SIDESwan Hotel : 2.30 pm : Donations please

A light-hearted illustrated talk by wildlife conservationist, Ian Carstairs

Effective conservation is almost always a struggle, Ian knows. Over the last 30 years, he has spearheaded many voluntary and professional projects to safeguard our heritage as well as setting up a wildlife conservation charity.

But amidst the hard work it can also be great fun. Through his infectious enthusiasm he shares a much lighter side to the battle to save our natural, built and cultural heritage. From being chased by a bear, locked at the top of the clock-tower, jumped over by badgers and campaigning at Parliament to protect their setts, to low-level stomach-churning (and emptying) flights in a jet to photograph the landscape, you will quickly see the vital part maintaining a strong sense of humour has played in his sustained efforts for our environment.

Ian is also author and photographer of a number of books including A Portrait of the Waveney Valley.

LATE OF LATE NIGHT LINE-uPFilms introduced by Bob Edwards & FriendsArchbishop Sancroft School : 7.30pm : £5

Late Night Line-Up was a unique programme on BBC2. It ran from 1964 to 1972. On air every night, it was the last programme of the evening and was open ended, often running into the small hours. It mostly consisted of interviews and discussions, hosted by a small team from whom Joan Bakewell has acquired national fame.

From time to time films ware shown. Made by a three man team of directors of which one, Bob Edwards, lives in the locality. These films covered a variety of subjects, from a short one with cartoonist Ronald Searle in Paris in 1986 to gypsies at Appleby Fair in 1970.

Other films are being assembled and carefully restored from the original 40 odd year old 16mm format by Stewart Orr. We promise a good and stimulating programme, to be introduced by the directors. The full contents will be announced nearer the date. These films are from the golden years of the BBC when creative people were in charge.

If you are interested in the techniques involved in restoring some of the films to a viewable state, the Studio, Museum and Workshop at Prior’s Croft Barn where this was done will be open. For full details see the entry in this brochure for Sunday 24th, 10 am – 5.00 pm.

AN EVENING WITH BRIAN MuIRArchbishop Sancroft High School : 7.30pm : £7.50

Brian Ian Muir, one of the most respected sculptors and artists in the film industry, has been working in film for over 46 years . In 1968, at the age of 16, he began his 4 year apprenticeship as a sculptor / modeller at Elstree Film Studios.

After completing his apprenticeship, Brian left the film industry. He honed his skills by working on many prestigious commissions in London i.e. Royal Coat of Arms for the Crown Court, plaque for Stock Exchange (unveiled by the Queen).

In 1976 Brian was asked to return to Elstree Studios to work on Star Wars and sculpted the now infamous Darth Vader. He also sculpted the Storm Trooper armour, Death Star Droid, CZ 3 and finishing work on C3PO.

During his extensive 46 year career in the film industry Brian has worked on over 70 major movies which are listed on his website with a selection of impressive photographs.

When Brian came to realise there was a real interest in Star Wars and many of the other major movies he had worked on over the years, he wrote his autobiography ‘In the Shadow of Vader’ which has been well received and is currently on its 3rd re-print.

BILLINGFORD WINDMILL TALKWITH HERBERT WEBSDELLSwan Hotel : 2pm : Donations please

Billingford Mill was built in the mid-19th century to replace a post mill that had been destroyed in a gale. It is one of the last mills in the country to use wind power to run commercially and ceased working full-time in the late 1950s.

Today the mill is opened by volunteers from the Norfolk Windmills Trust during the summer months on advertised dates. A restoration programme has been started to return the mill to full working order, including new sails. This work is expected to cost in the region of £120,000.

If you are interested in finding out more, please contact Herbert Websdell, the current caretaker of the mill, on 01379 853967.

After the talk, there will be an opportunity to ask Herbert questions.

BILLINGFORD WINDMILL TOuRVenue : 10am - 5pm£3 (Adults), £2 (S/C) Children FREE

The mill is situated south of A143 on a Common very close to the River Waveney. The valley in which the mill stands was formed by an ice age glacier. The valley acts as a funnel providing a better wind force than on a hill top.

The Windmill was built in the mid 1800’s to replace a post mill which was destroyed in a gale. It was one of the last commercially operated wind-powered mills in the country. In the last phase of operation it produced animal feeds. Wind power was replaced by an “Oil” engine which was used to drive a small unit still situated on the ground floor. The current mill has five floors and still has machinery intact.

Norfolk Windmills Trust volunteers look after the mill inside and open it. For special visits by groups and organisations. The mill is also open one Sunday a month, Easter to September. Winter opening is not always possible due to lack of electricity.

Special events are also organised on Sunday openings. A programme of these is available from information centres and Billingford Horseshoes.

Whilst painters were doing a routine repaint, rot was discovered in the sails which were removed, but, due to funding cuts, were not repaired. Fortunately a fund raising committee has been formed to bring the mill back to full working order. The cap will be, removed, repaired and replaced. Also, the steel stocks will be replaced with wood, together with new sails. All this at a cost of well over £100,000.

We, the NWT volunteers, look forward to your visit Saturday 23rd August, open 10.00 - 17.00. 35 -45 minute guided tours costs Adults £3, S/C £2, children free. To learn more a talk on the mill Friday August 22nd, 14.00 at the Swan Hotel.

The band gives termly concerts as well as competing at the University Brass Band Championships. In both 2013 and 2014 the band was able to finish a very creditable 3rd place as well as securing the title of ‘The Most Entertaining Band’ in 2014.

HIDDEN HARLESTONSt. John’s Church : 2pm : Donations please

Following the success of last year’s walk, “Harleston by the Yard”, local historian Gordon Lascelles will be exploring more of the town’s little known corners. With his usual enthusiasm and humour Gordon will show us places we seldom, if ever see and what they tell of our history.

This is a free event, although contributions towards The River Waveney Trust’s education programme would be appreciated.

They try to give audiences a variety of genres to listen to so there is always something for everyone.

Below can be found a list of repertoire they will be playing for the Weekend:

James Bond Collection – arr. D BarryLonely Mill Overture – Handel arr. LancasterThe Contestor – T. J. PowellFlower Duet - L. DelibesBass in a Ballroom – R. NewsomePirates of the Caribbean – arr. Badelt

The museum collection comprises well over 1,000 items, many of which work. We have over 100 tape recorders and wireless sets, some of the latter dating back to the early 1920s and beyond. You are invited to step back to the world of glowing valves, rotating tape spools, turntables, and large rolls of ciné film, before the now ubiquitous megabytes, digits and hard discs took over all our lives!

The theme of this year’s Open Day will be Broadcast Equipment. Tea and Coffee will be available on the terrace!

PRIOR’S CROFT OPEN DAYPrior’s Croft Barn : 11am - 5pm

Prior’s Croft Barn is the home of Stewart Orr Sound Services, where we have transferred and restored Bob Edwards’ films for Tuesday’s Festival Film Show. We also transcribe audio from old and redundant formats (tape, 78s, LPs and even Victorian cylinders). The equipment used is all part of the Prior’s Croft Collection. This small museum also contains recording, broadcasting, wireless and gramophone equipment dating back over 100 years, much of it still working.

Our Marconi Line Array Telecine, which is 30 years old and weighs nearly half a ton, has recently been installed and overhauled at Prior’s Croft. Originally from ITV Scotland (used in the production of the Taggart series), we transplanted it from its latter home on the 10th floor of Centre Point in London last year. Recently it was used in the restoration of Bob Edwards’ films, and will be working during our open day. The ex-BBC Radio Norfolk control desk which was installed in the BBC Surrey Street premises in 1980 and took us 9 months to re-install and refurbish will also be up and running – a reminder of the pre-digital age of broadcasting, before, even, the CD appeared on the scene.



Come and enjoy a great day out! There will be a large range of stalls, bouncy castles, vintage vehicles, music and our popular fun dog show.

As usual, there will be a tea tent dispensing tea, coffee, cake and sandwiches; a bar (kindly provided by the Swan Hotel) and Pepperell’s magnificent hog roast and barbeque.

Opening the day will be the University of York Brass Band who will play from 11am to noon. Hopefully, we will get a fly past by the Battle of Britain flight (weather and operational requirements permitting).

Why not get involved? The more the merrier. Welcome one and all!

A very special event for the Harleston Family Fun Day, and, we think, a first for South Norfolk – everyone should be there.

Vintage and classic cars in all their glory. Drivers and passengers in period dress. All the sounds, smells and excitement of the early days of motoring.

You’ve probably seen them parked on the showground – but now watch them put through their paces on the road, in motion, in procession through the town! Harleston hasn’t seen these cars in action before – make sure not to miss it!

Vintage car and tractor owners from all over Norfolk and Suffolk will bring their beloved vehicles for a spectacular parade through Harleston and onto the Recreation Ground to open the 13th Family Fun Day.

Come, applaud, dress up, bring 20s to 80s glamour to Harleston – and open the Family Fun Day with a bang. Don’t miss it.
