ELSTOAF!
Extremely Late Summer Trifle Online Arts Festival.
Originally screend live on BH Monday 28th December 2020 – 31st January 2021.
We refused to be thwarted by the pandemic. Although we could not host our usual annual summer festival, we still wanted to both support the arts and to bring the arts to our community. So we went online – ELSTOAF started on Monday 28th December with several hours of live and recorded entertainment and continues with online showcases on our ELSTOAF page.
