Record breaking attendance at DAF2023
Audience for Hamsaz Ensemble
by Lawrence Ghorra Photography
Over 10,000 people attended the over 100 events that made up Didsbury Arts Festival in 2023, making it the most popular iteration of the festival so far!
Huge audiences packed out many of the events, including over 1000 people taking their seats in the extraordinary Flight (the immersive experience in the large white shipping container parked outside Didsbury library), whilst less visible, but no less impactful projects like The Girl and the Dragon theatre show and numerous artist-led workshops took place in local schools, local schoolchildren displayed their art in the local shops and businesses, and bands, poets, artists, performers and musicians all presented or played their work in so many of our churches, pubs, libraries, galleries, bars and sports venues.
