The icing on the cake to an amazing long weekend: a feature in The Guardian
Alongside creating our five day festival, we've been running our first of a kind #YoungTeam project, a GCSE level qualification in DIY Events since January. It was amazing (and nerve-racking) to have a journalist observe our sessions in February and April but amazing to see it come together now.
We are super proud of our team who have created and run their own projects at this year's festival, including performances, stage managements, workshops and sessions and even a charity auction.
Thank you to The Guardian for their support, Community Foundation Wakefield District for funding the project and our Patreon supporters who provided essential additional financial support.
Cultural engagement is low in the West Yorkshire city – but a new scheme from music festival Long Division is energising teenagers into careers in the creative industries
