FROM  NORTH LINCOLNSHIRE COUNCIL

Take part in the Get Creative Festival (17 to 25 March) and discover all the creative things North Lincolnshire has to offer.
BBC Arts’ Get Creative Festival celebrates creative participation of all kinds and the many health and wellbeing benefits that taking part can bring.
As part of the festival, creative groups and organisations across the UK are invited to showcase their creativity and welcome new people to join them.
It’s a great way to find out how to get creative right on your doorstep in North Lincolnshire and try something different with hundreds of hands on events on offer.
Throughout the week lots of activities and events have been planned, which you can get involved in and show your creative side.
During the festival, there are  a number of other activities happening locally including Dommy B ‘Spark, the Giblin Wizard’ tours with North Lincolnshire libraries and schools.
Performances open to the public cost £2 per ticket and will take place on:

  • Monday 19 March, 5.30pm at Crowle Library. To book, call 01724 296850.
  • Tuesday 20 March, 6pm at The Vale Academy (hosted by Brigg Library). To book, call 01724 296776 or visit Brigg Library (in the Angel building).

Cllr Carl Sherwood (Brigg), Cabinet Member for Community Wellbeing, pictured above, said: “In North Lincolnshire we have a huge amount of arts and creative activities for people of all ages to get involved in. During the Get Creative Festival we are going to highlight the variety of activities and events people can take part in.
“If you have a creative side or want to try your hand at new things, get involved in the range of activities taking place in North Lincolnshire. Whether you want to try dancing, drawing or open up your imagination, there is something for everyone.
“Some activities require booking so to make sure you don’t miss out, book your place now.”
Get Creative is a campaign that celebrates and supports the everyday creativity happening in homes and public spaces across the UK. Get Creative aims to inspire people to try something new at home or at a Get Creative event and to encourage people to share their own examples of everyday creativity. The campaign works with arts, cultural and community organisations to create participatory events that are accessible for everyone.

It also aims to raise and increase the profile of grassroots practice within communities, using different BBC platforms and beyond.
