More about our impact
The local economy
Over 1,000 art enthusiasts visited the town over 3 days, many restaurants and shops reported back how vibrant the town was and the footfall in their establishments was high
Volunteering, jobs & education
Our volunteers were the lifeblood of the festival, from young art students to retirees. Our yellow army was visible across the town, in the streets and at every venue helping our visitors have the best time possible.
Arts, culture & heritage
A new art festival established in the town of Clitheroe, we're aiming for this to be an annual event and grow year on year, more artists, more volunteers, more venues and more enthusiasm towards art in the town. Each festival we aim to leave behind a legacy piece of permanent art for the town. This year, Gavin Renshaw's mural 'The Railway comes to Clitheroe' is our first legacy piece.
