The idea

We will create a youth mobile festival which tours the Cotswolds, supports local community events, provides a space to showcase local young talent and offers young people in rural areas positive activities and opportunities to engage in arts and creativity. Working with young dancers, actors , circus performers, musicians from local organisations we will provide a space to celebrate young people in the Cotswolds. We will also make this available to support local festival's across the Cotswolds. Support from Crowdfund Cotswold will enable us to purchase a large marquee, trailer and resources to support events such as stage, lighting , props as well as staffing costs to oversee the project, identify local talent and promote the festival

What we'll deliver

  • 6 Youth Showcase & Funday events across the Cotswolds in 2024
