Trad Arts Team

It has been a damp and dismal year so far, but there is now a sense of gloom for all local performance activities likely to be affected by the government imposed austerity on the city. So we are hoping to bring you some little rays of sunshine wrapped up with music, dance, storytelling and more. Our new indoor art market wont be rained off thank goodness and you will get a warm and cheerful welcome there just as you will at all of our events. Beat the blues and beat austerity by coming along to one of our events.
