“I’d like to say I’ve loved being part of the festival for the first time – it was a real privilege.  The success of my event despite necessary indoor social distancing, and the enthusiasm of the audience, delighted me.  And everyone I dealt with on the organisational side (the Festival organisers, staff at the Novium box office and those at the New Park Centre) was so helpful and efficient.  A very big thank-you to you all.”
