The West Awake

ORGANISERS of the community festival around the West Awake concerts have been “blown away” with response from the community, businesses and participants.

An array of live performances, workshops, exhibitions and creative events take place in several venues throughout the town from Friday until Sunday as part of the weekend festival feeling.

The Shambles carpark is being transformed into a pop-up live music venue for the weekend while the Town Hall will have a variety of events on both floors.
