What is the Seething Festival?

It is an opportunity for all the community to come together and celebrate its ‘past’ but more importantly its future. It is a chance to show what can be achieved when people work together.

There will be various ways for everyone to get involved from making masks, lanterns and the Giant and the Goat Boy to taking part in the community play and the ‘famous’ Seething Festival Procession. We need marshalls, organisers, artists, photographers, singers, actors, dancers, walkers - you name it, we need it.

When will it happen?

The main activity takes place over the weekend of Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th February but there are workshops and events ahead of the weekend for people to join in.

There will be a Community Play and a Street Procession which is open to everyone to participate in

Why is anything happening?

The Legend of Lefi Ganderson, the Goat Boy of Seething, is a simple tale of the small against the mighty, the strain within communities in accepting new and different things and ultimately the triumph of good over evil.

By creating a new Seething Festival we hope to encourage a community to discover its mythical past and, through this, shape a better community future.
