Great day out at Didsbury Festival!

The Didsbury Arts Festival team had a brilliant time at the recent Didsbury Festival in Didsbury Park! We loved meeting people, hearing their views and gathering some great ideas about how to develop DAF in the future.

All sorts of creative thinking was evident in the huge number of contributions received, in the conversations we had and the enthusiasm for new artistic practice that was evident. From 'Explosions!' and 'building things out of cardboard' to 'togetherness, respect and sustainability' it was really quite humbling to see the passion an investment in what Didsbury Arts Festival should be, expressed by people of all ages and backgrounds.

And of course it was more than just a great day out. There have been a few changes within the DAF team since the last festival, and we have embarked on a major project to carve out a new direction, whilst building on the best of what DAF has been so far. Working with community arts organisation Get It Done, the team are looking to expand the impact and 'ownership' of the festival to make sure that everyone in the whole of the Didsbury area and around has a chance to participate, to show off their creativity and to enjoy the range of contemporary creative practice that the festival celebrates.

We'd love to hear from you, or from any community, charity or arts group you know in the area, if you want to get involved in any way.
