Organisers of Alnwick Story Fest were delighted to receive council support as they plan their third annual event in 2025.

Alnwick Town Council’s grant of £2,500 will help the group deliver a free fringe festival and continue their engagement with young people both through outreach work and in local schools.

Story Fest operations director Tricia Cresswell said: “We are so grateful to the town council for their continued support. The people of Alnwick have backed the festival from the start and this money will help us with our ambition to ignite the imagination of both residents and visitors alike.”

It takes place from February 28 to March 2.
