Flaming Skirt Festival is a fun protest because the Olympic torch relay is skirting round Amber Valley rather than going through it. It’s an alternative arts festival to shine a Beacon of Light on the invisibility of Amber Valley- a day of carrying the Beacon of Light to different locations for creative events devised by artists. Starting at 10.30am, each activity will last for an hour at each of 6 locations with time to transport the Beacon of Light to the next one. There will be poetry at Shipley Park, drumming at Ironville, a lunch-stop at Midland Railway Centre, games at Ripley Greenway and then storytelling, artwork, mini-skirt sports and dancing at Lower Hartshay. There will be a mini-car show and a mini-dog show somewhere, and cakes at each location. There might even be prizes… who knows? There will certainly be FUN!
