We are normally all about our beloved Hartlepool, but did you know one of our directors spent her childhood in Billingham?

When Billingham International Folklore Festival of World Dance, asked to interview Vicky, it was clear her memories of attending the festival as a child had shaped her passion for community events and outdoor arts, such as Wintertide Festival.

Thanks BIFF 💫
