A festival that brings living art to you.

The Festival of Small Things - a celebration of true encounters, intimate exchanges and the joy of things you can hold.

A project in four primary schools and two action-packed days of live events across Nottingham headlined our Festival with theatre taking place in market places, under a trees and on pavements.
Provocations in a card for discussion over a cup of tea with a friend, cards enclosing seeds to grow and offer hope and drama to be listened to on a cassette player were all a part of the festival's unexpected, un-showy and quiet experience.
