The Foxton Festival

The Foxton Festival The Foxton Festival is on 6th August 2016 The products of these workshops will then be showcased or sold at the festival.

The Foxton Festival is a one day event which aims to celebrate ‘community unity’ within the multi-cultural area of Avenham in Preston. The festival aims to improve social inclusion by providing opportunities for The Foxton Centre service users to develop skills and express themselves in healthy and positive ways by learning new skills such as performing arts, poetry, craft making and creative medi

a, with the aim of building confidence and self-esteem. The Foxton Festival also aims to engage with the wider Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic groups around the Avenham area and break down cultural barriers, by facilitating in the involvement of these groups to participate in delivering workshops, selling food and performing on festival day. We are hoping that this will build stronger links with the wider community including local businesses and organisations.
