Sandy Powell wins Oscar

Sandy Powell

Congratulations to Port Eliot Festival performer Sandy Powell, who won her Best Costume Design Oscar last night (whilst wearing a bugle bead beret, designed especially for the occasion by fellow Port Eliot performer, Stephen Jones!).

A regular house guest at Port Eliot, Sandy took inspiration for her winning designs from clothes she found in the house.

Sandy will be appearing on the Bowling Green stage on the Saturday afternoon of this year’s festival, when she will talk about her work and life. As Martin Scorceses’s favourite costume designer, she has a lot of good stories to tell… Not to be missed…

The full 2010 festival line-up will be announced at the beginning of April. Book your tickets now!
