DAF 2023 offered a rich programme of Music, Film, Theatre, Visual Art, Exhibitions, Spoken Word and more - delivered through Events, Performances, Workshops, Immersive Experiences and Community Engagement - as well as the opportunity to become an artist yourself and learn about creative careers.
For our 2023 festival we celebrated the theme Your Festival : Your Voice, using the public feedback from our community consultation process to influence our programming and ensure that the festival is truly 'a people's festival'.
We wanted all ages to find something inspiring and enjoyable, and events took place over 9-days, in the daytime and evenings, with both indoor and outdoor events throughout our partner venues in and around Didsbury.
Furthermore, we reimagined the festival to be a diverse and artistically challenging event, relevant to audiences of all cultures, ages, and backgrounds, in Greater Manchester and beyond.
All of this was made possible thanks to the support and collaboration of our partners, sponsors, funders, donors, volunteers, artists and of course YOU - our audience and our inspiration!
