It is integral to our overall mission to be committed in supporting the development of artistic talent.

We are proud to offer a range of opportunities that accessible for both emerging and established artists. Across many of our award-winning festivals, our touring programme and internal facilities (including Big Whistle Festival, Head for the Hills and our Creative Hub, Edwin St) we aim to support artists by offering professional performance and audience development opportunities, opening up dialogues between audience and artist where possible, from intimate gigs to main stage slots.

Actively linking local, regional and national events/celebrations we aim to retain significant relevance and opportunity for the arts to challenge and engage in Bury and Greater Manchester.
