ABOUT RESTORMEL ARTS
Restormel Arts was formed in 1992 and is a charity aiming to promote professional and amateur arts activity and to engage the local community as both audience and participants.
Commissioned and promoted a community play “As Well Be Shot As Be Starved” based on the historic bread riots of 1847 in St Austell and performed by local actors and members of the local community at the Cellars, St Austell Brewery.
A community “Festival of Fun” brought together professional shows and amateur productions plus workshops, showcases, children’s events and a host of participatory activities in and around St Austell Town Centre. The Festival was supported by a wide range of organisations and sponsors.
