a MASSIVE thank you!

Thank you everyone, the scores of volunteers who helped make it all run smoothly, the hundreds of presenters, the thousands of visitors, and our sponsors, without whom nothing would be possible.

What a surprise it was when the 2010 Festival turned out twice the size of last year's. We didn't plan it, nothing could have foretold it, but nothing could prevent it, so it seems.

People emerged from all over wanting to throw something into the crucible: an opera about Alzheimer's; a play about carbon; Skeptics in the Pub; a Carnival Skills swap-shop... They all poured into February and the public poured in to visit them.

The lesson for 2011: Let's have more next year please! It's your contribution that makes the Festival happen. So think of an idea and contact us right now. (See contact tab above)
