World Heritage Festival |
The Ironbridge Gorge celebrates its special status as a World Heritage Site every year in September with a packed programme of free activities. The celebrations are launched with the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Festival in the centre of the town on the Saturday, followed by a week of fascinating and nostalgic talks and walks culminating in a wonderful heritage and craft event the following weekend at Maws Craft Centre. Dates for the 2013 Festival have not yet been announced.
After months of planning and weeks of hard work by so many different people and organisations, it was wonderful to see the crowds turn up and enjoy this great event. We are incredibly grateful to all the hundreds of people who have helped make this event possible, the local residents for all their cooperation and to our sponsors, Capgemini, Ricoh and Eon for all their support. Seeing the Festival enjoyed by so many people has made it all worthwhile. |
