The Local and Live Festival delivered:

  • opportunities for local creatives to perform to small live audiences
  • public confidence in a safe return to indoor arts events after the pandemic restrictions 
  • a period of employment for performers, technicians and event staff.  
  • Investment in training and equipment to record and stream events, to widen audience opportunities and as a contingency against further lockdowns

The nine recordings produced during the Local and Live festival are on our website:
