Welcome to 2019’s amazing celebration of creativity!
For the last ten years our aim has been to present a line-up of talent that exceeds your expectations. This year is no different. I’m pretty sure that the programme will enthral, challenge and entertain you, in equal measures!
The festival continues to support diversity and accessibility, engaging with the health and disability sectors, schools and rest homes, to provide opportunities for more people to experience these amazing shows. We’re very lucky to have such great support from funders and business partners to do this, and to keep ticket prices as low as possible.
To all our visiting artists, crews and volunteers: thank-you for everything that you bring to the festival. We know you’ll have a great time.
Finally, to our loyal and trusting audiences: Enjoy yourselves and please do share your experiences whenever/wherever you can!
