The Networks
Ashford Presents ...festivals network
Building capacity within the boroughs festivals through
supporting key organisers
This network brings together key local event organisers in
Ashford to support and build capacity in the borough’s arts
festivals. The current festivals are all voluntary run. Working
together will enable a joined up approach towards marketing,
sponsorship, funding, legislations, creative product and
programming. With support from the Ashford Town Centre
Partnership, our Cultural Services and Economic Development,
the network could potentially develop into being a grant giving
resource in future years and encourage further networking with new
and existing Ashford festivals.
Ashford Presents ...Creative Opportunities for Graduates
and Students
Delivering visual arts mentoring where current students or
graduates of Ashford School of Art and Design and members of
