News From The Festival Team
We have been understandably quiet during the past twelve months as we took a fallow year in 2020, and then COVID-19 struck! Whilst we did not programme a festival last year, the Team have been super busy behind the scenes shaping our vision for the future.
Given the current uncertain cultural climate we have taken the decision to direct our focus on our year-round community programme. We are delighted to be working on a Creative Neighbourhoods Project with three groups across Calderdale exploring creativity during COVID-19. This project is led by our newest team member, Todmorden based Clare Danon.
