St Mary's in Stafford will host their 'Building for Peace' festival next month.

Over 200 performers will be taking to the stage from world-class musicians to community choirs.

The festival will explore the theme of peace through a programme of concerts, recitals, workshops and worship.

There is something for everyone, from folk to jazz to classical music.

For those who enjoy crafts, a drawing workshop will take place on 18 June followed by an embroidery workshop on 23 June.

A poetry competition with the theme of peace is being run alongside the festival.

The winner and a selection of runners-up will be invited to read their poems at a celebration event on Friday 3 July.

There are also several visual arts exhibitions for attendees to enjoy including 'Landscapes of my Mind' created by prize-winning artist Lisa Henderson and a selection of photos taken and curated by Stafford Camera Club.
