So that's it from The Wi******er Festival. We've had a wonderful 2019 Festival & want to thank all our supporters, for enabling us to put on nine days of in and around ******er as well as all the fabulous speakers and talented musicians.
Sadly this was the final Festival. Since the Festival started in 1998 there has been an extraordinary increase in the number of concerts and talks happening in ******er so that every week - almost every day - there are wonderful performances across the city. Wi******er now has a wealth of music and literature throughout the year and we have decided, with a great deal of deliberation and a lot of sadness, that this year was the final Wi******er Festival.
We are hugely grateful and indebted to everyone who has been involved with the Festival over the last 22 years - the sponsors, individual donors and patrons, and ******erCityCouncil, the local performers and the performers who come to us from much further afield, the staff and volunteers, and most of all, the audiences - indeed everyone who has made the Festival so inspiring and rewarding to be involved with.
