Chris weston iw festival

This is the only complete photographic record of the 1970 Pop Festival held at Afton Down, taken over a three-week period by local photographer Chris Weston.

Chris was one of only three full time electricians working on the site and had access to areas not available to the press or the general public.

Through his extensive collection of photographs, Chris reveals a community event, which has gone down in history as being the largest attended musical event in the UK.

A book accompanies this exhibition, which is for sale at a reduced price in the Quay Arts Craft Shop.

This exhibition is supported by The New Rembrandt Gallery, Newport.

The Last Great Event by Chris Weston runs from: Thu 13 May – Mon 5 Jul, Café Wall, Quay Arts, Sea Street, Newport Harbour, IOW, PO30 5BD
