Arts and Laughs to return to Docklands

The Docklands Arts and Laughs Festival is set to become an annual event.

According to event organiser Melissa Head, the inaugural festival last month was a great success.

Ms Head said the event was well supported and was attended by locals and visitors.

She said many events at the Wonderland Spiegeltent had sold out and the blues festival, featuring bands playing along NewQuay Promenade, had drawn a great crowd.

“Hundreds of blues fans  and families came down and enjoyed the blues festival on Sunday along the waterfront,” Ms Head said.

The festival featured a range of events including music, comedy and children’s shows at a variety of restaurants and venues around Docklands.

Ms Head said the festival would be an annual event that would continue to grow.

“It will place the area on the map and showcase Docklands every year,” she said.

“It’s an opportunity to celebrate what we love about Docklands and showcase the many traders and restaurants. That’s what festivals are all about.”

The Docklands Arts and Laughs Festival will return to Docklands in the first week of October next year.
