In Focus – Celebrating Burnley’s Young Creatives

Welcome to In Focus – a brand new festival celebrating the creativity and talent of Burnley’s young people.

We’re shining a light on young artists, performers, producers and makers from across the town. Join us in July for a vibrant mix of events, exhibitions, workshops and performances.

This year’s theme is Happy Place. We’re exploring the places, spaces, memories and moments that make us feel good, in Burnley and beyond.

All events are completely free. If you’re a young person (up to 25) who needs support to attend – like help with travel costs – just get in touch with our Producer Reuben by emailing reuben@blazeonline.org.uk.

Join us in celebrating the imagination, energy and ambition of Burnley’s next generation of creatives.

Full programme coming soon.

In Focus is delivered by Blaze Arts in partnership with Burnley Local Cultural Education Partnership.

In Focus is funded by: Arts Council England, Brian Mercer Trust, Trusthouse Charitable Foundation, Calico Homes, Community Rail Lancashire.

Burnley LCEP Festival Partners: Burnley Leisure & Culture, Burnley College, Burnley Youth Theatre, Creative Spaces Burnley, Cultrapedia, Super Slow Way, Lancashire County Council, Calico Homes.
