Gladfest
We took part in 'North Wales and Chester's affordable literary festival' at Gladstone's Library, providing a drop in craft workshop over the whole weekend. Our workshops produced Princesses, Fairies and Monsters that could then be used with our puppet theatre to make up stories that explored their adventures. We had a lovely two days, meeting many wonderful artisan makers and the festival's guests so if we can do the same at your event please contact us to discuss your needs. |

Wythenshawe Park Games Festival
I Used To Be provided arts activities inspired by the Olympic Games to a large number of young people who attended this community event organised by Wythenshawe Forum Trust LTD.
We held sessions that encouraged young people to discuss sport and healthy lifestyle choices whilst participating in a press printing workshop, the aim of which was to produce a greetings card illustrating a sporting activity. Lots of gold paint, glue and giggles were shared by all.
