Highlights from 2016
2016 saw the second year of our amazing week long festival about all things related to Death and Dying. Not only did Pushing Up Daisies grow rapidly in size from 2015, we were also so proud to win the Dying Matters Awareness Initiative of the Year from the National Council for Palliative Care
The 2016 festival opened with a bang on Sunday 8th May: - poetry from Winston Plowes, a one-woman show by Ellie Harrison, improvised story-telling from Threadbare Playback Theatre and Tod's own Three Valleys Gospel Choir.
Other performance stuff included: - Lifetimes Improv show Reading of the Letters The Fiery Folky Funeral Feast |

There were films too, at the library, all week:
Cria Cuervos
Chronic
Death of a Superhero
Mr Holmes
