The Cultural and Performing Arts Awards 2020
On Thursday the 22nd of October, we celebrated all of the incredible achievements of our artistic community. These musicians, performers, technicians, and artists had the opportunity to perform for an audience, something which has been in short supply in 2020 and did they make the most of it! As always, the level of talent was astonishing, and the highlight of the evening was the tribute paid to the man who has helped nurture so many of them as artists, Mr Adrian Botting, who received a hugely deserved standing ovation. Mr Botting leaves us at the end of this year, and we are so grateful for his tireless support of the performing arts at HBHS during his 25 years here. Congratulations and thank you to our Director of Culture, Mr Tim Dent, and his team on a spectacular evening.
