Lymm Festival
Welcomes New Faces
The team that runs Lymm Festival has
been joined by a number of new faces.
Previous Director Jacquie Davies has
had to step down due to increased work
commitments and her role has been
split into two. Dave Sawyer has been
with the Festival for a few years but has
now taken on the role of Events Director.
Lauren Sanders has joined as Marketing
and Publicity Director. Several other new
people with varying skills and experience
have also joined the Committee.
Chairman Ian Marks said, ”I am delighted
with the team we have in place. It is
always good to bring in new blood with
a fresh set of ideas. We are very pleased
with last year’s Festival and the challenge
for the team is to put on an even better
event next year.”

Dave Sawyer added, “We are now busy
planning our Winter Warmer
events.
We are
holding another of
our great film shows
in October followed
by our legendary Blues
Night in November.
In February comedian
and raconteur Arthur
Smith of ‘Grumpy
Old Men’ fame will be
performing and in March there will be
an evening led one of the region’s finest
acoustic musicians.”
Lauren Sanders commented, “Since
joining the team, I have been very
impressed with the enthusiasm of the
members. One of my tasks this year is
to reach out to neighbouring areas to
attract new people to come to our events.
People from Lymm and the immediate
surrounding areas are great supporters
but we need to tell others what a great
Festival we put on. For details of our
Winter warmer programme, please visit
