With thanks...
The 2014 Gravity Fields Festival is
testament to the ongoing appetite for a
festival which celebrates the local area’s
close ties to Sir Isaac Newton and puts
21st century South Kesteven on the map.
The Gravity Fields Festival is a
contemporary mix of science, arts
and heritage events, and could not be
staged without the tremendous support
of numerous partners and individuals.
Grateful thanks are due to South Kesteven
District Council's councillors and staff for
their hard work and support and our ever
expanding team of volunteers.
We also owe thanks to an extended range
of sponsors and grant awarding bodies,
plus the many organisations and
individuals who have given time, ideas,
energy and space.
Arts Council England has generously
supported the outdoor arts events of the
2014 festival and, through their touring
grants, has also enabled the festival to
bring several of the arts exhibitions and
performances. The festival also benefits
from our partner project Lincolnshire’s Age
of Scientific Discovery, supported by the
Heritage Lottery Fund.
This project began in 2013 and has allowed
volunteers to research publish and exhibit
material relating to Newton and 17th
century Lincolnshire.
