• A fantastic new show devised from local peoples stories about the Fry's Factory. 
• Family fun creative days-
• We are looking for local people who would like to run a workshop, all suggestions welcome. If you have a hidden talent come and share it with us.
• An event celebrating the Queens Jubilee
• A resident dance company led by local young people will be performing and running workshops
• The 2012 Youth Fest will be in September and we will be looking for groups and young people to get involved to showcase their talents.
