The action from the first two days of this year's festival

To honour his 104th birthday anniversary, I’m looking back to the life and work of one of the greatest artists of our time. 

This is a group review we all did with Blaze Arts, we went to have a chat with a local Burnley artist, Sophie Gibson where we also saw an exhibition that she helped Burnley College students to create. 

An exuberant EP that fails to realise its full potential 

This is good family circus which entertains.

This is a must see production at Assembly Hall which tackles the question of what it means to be a woman through contemporary dance, physical theatre and circus.

A beautiful breath of stillness 

A luscious offering of reflective and atmospheric folk-pop

The Macclesfield band are here to tell you everything will be alright 

"The last 2 years have definitely impacted the way we made our new work. We spent a lot of time on Zoom, talking, writing and creating on our own, a very different approach from Casting Off which was created on the training floor, trying new tricks, letting our lives interrupt and inspire us."

"I specialise in object manipulation, flexibility and awkward comedy, and I regularly namedrop that I’ve worked for Cirque du Soleil because I feel that it adds legitimacy to my skills."

Sculptures displayed amongst the wildlife is a fantastic idea. A walk in the forest and gallery all in one is more than I could ask for. With hundreds of unique sculptures in the 10 acres you will struggle with not being entertained or engaged.
