Christine Forrester Award
The Christine Forrester Award was created in honour of the Festival’s patron who was also one of the founders.
Christine was a passionate supporter of the arts and she sadly passed away from cancer not long after the festival of 2019.
Sponsored this year by Bob Widdowson, the winner of the £200 prize will be selected from the three main festival exhibitions - Art at No 9, Three of a Kind, and Heart of the Matter II: Responses to Nature from the Marches.
