WOW! Fest represents an exciting and strategic opportunity to celebrate diverse dance practices, empower local people through creativity, and provide a platform for professional and emerging artists alike. It also aligns beautifully with the values of our Hub: accessibility, collaboration, and community.
Maggie Lewis
Director, Black Country Dance Hub
WOW! Fest is not only an exciting cultural event but also an opportunity to foster long-term community engagement, support local wellbeing, and build momentum around the Arboretum as a space for creativity and gathering.
Mark Hopson
Healthy Spaces Community Officer, Walsall Council
As part of my role with MakerFest 2025, I am proud to support WOW! Fest, as well as through collaborative public-facing activity as part of the MakerFest Fringe. This is a natural and exciting partnership – one that will help create more visibility for community voices, and generate new connections between local creatives, organisations, and audiences.
