The organisers of the Bridgnorth Children’s Festival are delighted to announce that they are linking up with SP8 of the Art – the Mark Speight Foundation for this year’s event.
We are always looking for ways to inspire people coming to the Festival to have a go at something new or improve their skills in particular area. This association will help us achieve one of our key objectives in providing unique development and learning opportunities for children and young people.”
Although the exact nature of the activities to be provided have not been finalised yet, SP8 of the Art – the Mark Speight Foundation - will be providing a caricaturist who will be creating drawings of those attending. In addition it is
hoped that other national celebrities and artists will be attending the Festival.
Over the years the Festival has provided pottery workshops, cartoon and comic drawing activities, large scale graffiti and Big Art and in conjunction with the former District Council Arts Play Team, a variety of craft activities.
Some of these activities will again be available and new additions for 2009 include: Tshirt and card making.
The Children’s Festival will be held at Oldbury Wells School on the August Bank
Holiday Sunday & Monday (30th & 31st August). Admission is free and there will be
a host of other arts and crafts activities, workshops and demonstrations.
