Trustee :
I grew up in Devizes and after moving away to study and work returned in 1997. I retired from a career in the railway in 2022 and became a Festival trustee in 2023. I had enjoyed attending Festival events for years and it is great to now be part of the team of volunteers organising and running the Festival. This is particularly poignant for me as my father, Leslie Taylor, was for many years a keen volunteer helping to organise and run the Festival. As well as helping at events, I am involved in seeking sponsorship and production of publicity material.
Outside of the Festival, I volunteer in Drew’s Pond Wood and at Wansdyke school. I enjoy music, gardening and travel.
