We had another successful arts’ festival on 30 September 2023, with 551 attending in total (411 as visitors and 140 taking part in one form or another.) We had 26 exhibitors, 27 workshop leaders, 27 adult performers and 36 children taking part, with 22 volunteer helpers and 4 staff from the Snap Tin Cafe contributing to a fantastic day of performances, exhibitions, demonstrations and workshops. Funding from the players of the People’s Postcode Lottery, Dearne South Ward Alliance, Big Local Thurnscoe and Barnsley Museums enabled the festival to go ahead at Astrea Academy Dearne.
