We ended the year with a celebration of Fore Street. There were stalls, artwork and a silent disco inside Fore Street Living Room Library. Public spaces were activated with vibrant performances. Gaby’s cafe hosted an art installation by Cath Carver, whilst visitors of Cousins Snooker Club enjoyed a pinhole photography workshop and performance by Lost Chimes. As a town crier called out activities along the high street, a reindeer roamed Grove Street, and music workshops took place in a double-decker bus. Buoy Meets Krill performed at The Gilpin’s Bell, with The Royal Sounds receiving an encore as they closed the festival.
