ABOUT THE EVENT
NB - one of our promotion leaflets for this event incorrectly states a performance date of 20 May. Leon definitely plays on Sunday 21 May at 5pm!
Closing this year's festival, we are thrilled to be joined by the global steelpan star Leon Foster Thomas as he plays a free show on Watford Heath, by the Royal Oak pub.
