The move to Church Farm is a signal moment in our development, an opportunity to take the festival to the next level and to accelerate our progression. With this in mind, we have launched a concise and focused syndicate to provide funds for the transition and beyond. The Progress Syndicate aims to raise money to develop a theatre and festival venue to our needs, to acquire equipment, to carry out preparatory work and to install certain facilities as we perfect the operational and artistic functions of our festival.
