Line-up announcement from Summer Streets!

Earlier this month we had a super inspiring session led by life co-director of @maykithappen We talked all things #Festivals #Networks and the journey to #NPO Thank you Matthew for sharing with us! mayfestbristol.co.uk

Brilliant Disability Equality training led by Vic LC with BSL best practice from Caroline Ryan last night with Wear and Tyne Festivals. Thank you both for your invaluable insights ✨ #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs

What a wonderful network of festivals Wear and Tyne Festivals (follow them!) - great session with great people! Thanks so much for the very warm welcome.

Today Lee Etherington looked at how the Covid era has impacted @tusk_music 's work - how the challenges of lockdown have spawned new approaches and a much greater audience reach that will continue to influence its work long after the pandemic.

On Weds night we met to chat about our work together over the last year. We explored how the group has connected + supported each other over a difficult period, how we'll collaborate going forward, + started discussions about the future of the network. Supported by Arts Council England
