Wye Valley River Festival 2014

As a direct result of being seen at Lydney in the 2009 Mudlarks Severn Project in Gloucestershire, Desperate Men have now been asked to research and develop the artistic programme for the Wye Valley River Festival planned for 2014. Overseen by the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), this proposed festival will be "celebrating the River Wye and its history, heritage, environment and biodiversity through the arts, education, sport and recreation".

Desperate Men through this project will be looking to renew some creative collaborations but also to forge new relationships both with Welsh and English partners. As a reference point The Severn Project continues to inspire working models and best practise as Desperate Men construct an inspiring and exciting partnership with communities and artists from Hay on Wye down to Chepstow.
