Featherstone Festival of Words – Wakefield Lit Fest 2015
In 2015 Rusticus were commissioned by Wakefield Lit Fest to co-curate and deliver a creative events programme in collaboration with Beam, a local working group and Featherstone Library. Entitled Featherstone Festival of Words – the event constituted a one-day celebration of reading, writing and words which took place on Saturday 19 September 2015 at Featherstone Library – and included an imaginative romp around Pearson Park! The event was part of ‘Lit Fest in a Day’, which funded by the Arts Council Strategic Touring Fund, brought high quality arts activity to areas of the Wakefield District with least arts engagement, building capacity and strengthening engagement with community partners.
