The Footsteps Foundation
The 2011 Dorchester Festival is supporting the work of Oxfordshire charity Footsteps Foundation, which provides financial support to families attending the Footsteps Therapy Centre in Warborough, Oxfordshire.The Foundation awards grants to help with the ongoing physiotherapy provided at the Footsteps Therapy Centre. Footsteps provides intensive physiotherapy for children and young adults with Cerebral Palsy, Epilepsy and other genetic disorders.
The Polish therapy programme uses a unique piece of equipment called the Spider which facilitates exercises and the children love it!

About the Festival
Welcome to the fantastic collection of events that makes up the Dorchester Festival programme for 2011. Once again we have something to suit all tastes and ages with over 40 events packed into the 10 days of this our fourth Festival.So sing with John Rutter, enjoy a breathtaking performance of the Wizard of Oz, cook with Heston Blumenthal’s head chef or draw a Beano comic strip. Above all, enjoy yourself, bring your friends and help us to raise money for our fabulous Abbey and a very worthwhile local charity, Footsteps.
The 2011 Dorchester Festival is based in and around Dorchester Abbey in South Oxfordshire making use of the space and fabulous acoustics of this historic building. With so much going on over the weekends (including the bank holiday) it makes a great day out for all the family.
More than 3,500 people visited the Dorchester Festival in 2009 and we raised over £20,000 for SeeSaw and Dorchester Abbey.
