Show of Hands – 2nd July 2022
Show of Hands family summer festival is finally happening! This year we will be welcoming back Abbotsbury favourite Martyn Joseph and we are delighted to be joined once again by Miranda Sykes, who will be performing a stunning new solo set as well as reuniting with Show of Hands once again. Tim Edey completes the line-up Tim built up an incredible online following with his popular Facebook sessions throughout lockdown – he is a unique talent, described by Mark Radcliffe as ‘Instrumental fireworks’. It’s been so long – we would love to see you all in Dorset on Saturday 2nd July with the biggest Abbotsbury yet! As ever your wristbands allow you complete freedom to wander around the stunning Abbotsbury Gardens on both Saturday and Sunday. Tickets purchased for the cancelled 2020 & 2021 festivals are still valid.
