Shooting Roots at Sidmouth Folk Festival “I wish every day could be a Shooting Roots workshop!” “Thank you for providing young people with such a fantastic place...where creativity can flourish. It’s inspiring.” “Make the week longer!” Sound fun? If you’re aged between 12 and 17, come see for yourself just how much fun we have, and all the awesome things we get up to! Shooting Roots runs youth folk workshops at Sidmouth and other folk festivals (although Sidmouth is our home!), with all sorts on offer, from Band to Theatre to Dance to Craft and much more – There is something for everyone! The workshops are led by young people for young people, and the enthusiasm and sense of fun among the tutors is infectious! We want to have a laugh and lots of fun, at the same time as teaching and learning new skills, making friends, coming up with cool arrangements, and preparing an entertaining showcase at the end of the week! We want to provide a space for 12-17 year olds to spend time with their friends and have fun once they outgrow the Children’s Festival activities. Everyone is welcome, all abilities catered for, and fun guaranteed! We have a taster session on Saturday 3rd August at 2.45pm in the Arts Centre, so if you’re interested in finding out more, come and say hi! Alternatively, come and join in our Youth Session up at the Bulverton in Betsy’s Lounge on Tuesday 7th at 7pm, or just turn up and listen! The more the merrier!
