It's two weeks since this year's Festival ended and what a year it has been! Our new sponsored website became the impetus for a complete rebranding and a change in our marketing strategy. The website and the redesigned publicity material, including two new brochure designs, have been well received by our audiences.
We launched a very strong programme with many well-known international 'names', some exciting new commissions, an exceptionally strong Young Artists Platform line-up and a wide range of local artists.
This all translated into sales as more people bought tickets than ever before, and our projected ticket sales budget was well exceeded. 2015 was a very successful Festival indeed - artistically and in terms of popularity - and our audience survey (conducted entirely on-line for the first time) has substantiated this.
