We loved our set up this year, it was certainly different but maybe getting your own private gazebo is the future?! See you next year folks - in the mean time we look forward to sharing amazing photos and perhaps even a bit of footage from the fantastic @PaineIan soon 🥳 🙌☀️

After 3 incredible shows on Saturday we held out to the very end today in the hope of at least one last show. Sadly it just wasn’t meant to be - the rain kept coming down hard with no signs of improving.

Thank you so much to our amazing performers and team who have worked tirelessly to bring the festival to the wonderful venue that is @ushawdurham 😍

Akari (the beautiful seahorse created by the amazing Greener Lavelle) is sulking so we need sunshine and an audience to cheer him up!!! 🤞🤞🤞 ☀️ 🙏

We’re very sorry to announce our next show can’t go ahead due to continued bad weather. We’ve attempted to phone audience & have texted and emailed those who we cannot reach.

[IncludFEST (TINArts) @IncludFest]

We are sitting tight and at 2pm we will make the call for the 4pm performance. We will phone audience members shortly after to confirm whether we can go ahead - we really hope we can!
