Festival Programme
Appledore Billboard
Appledore is a vibrant village consisting of a number of individual small businesses and galleries, and a plethora of artistic talent. We have a lively community of artists and writers, and lively memorable characters. Renowned for its bustling pubs, good food, good company, and always something interesting going on. Our village is a great place to live, or just to stay for a while, with its quaint streets and architecture harking back to its maritime heritage. Experience crabbing on the Quay, from where cargoes were once loaded onto schooners, stroll along the front and breathe in some fresh sea air, or just sit for a while and let the world go by.
