Free ‘have a go’ Kettering arts festival returns for hands-on sessions to try out creativity
Organisers of a successful free arts festival have invited residents to their annual ‘have a go’ day.
Now in its fourth year, Kettering Arts Centre at St Andrew’s Church is hosting the day on Saturday, March 28.
Building on the success of previous days, residents can connect with local artists by taking part in workshops and mini classes to discover a new passion or skill – all for free.
A spokesman for Kettering Arts Centre said: “This is our fourth year of running the festival and we have a brilliant group of artists leading a wide range of workshops at the Arts centre. On March 28 from 10am to 2pm, nine artists and groups will be hosting their own free workshops for you to have a go at a variety of art forms.”
Different activities will be hosted in the main church and in the adjacent rooms.
Family-friendly, the free feel-good festival aims to champion local talent and encourage the community to try something new.
The day is completely free and there is food and drink you can purchase on site.
Rev Tom says: “The ‘have a go’ day is one of my highlights of the year. If you ever wonder what Kettering has to offer, come along and see a small snapshot of the incredible talent and creativity that this town is bursting with.”
Signed up to lead sessions are NixieMade, DRAWN WILD, Southfield School, Braybrooke Morris Dancers, Sam Palmer, Cobbled Together, ziNNes club, ARTworks and realsolidmedia.
