As a leading local agency they came highly recommended to us and we’ve so far been delighted with their injection of ideas, planning and strategy which will all help to raise the profile of Chester’s newest festival. Personally, I wanted to create an accessible arts festival that showcased some of the most talented artists in the Area. The festival will be a celebration of art across all persuasions – and we hope the event will become a permanent fixture in the City’s event calendar.”
Speaking about their appointment, Nicki Spindler commented: “It’s great to be involved with the Chester Arts Festival. The 3 day event will be a great visitor attraction offering something for everyone. The festival will also provide a great opportunity for the City’s budding junior artists who’ll have the opportunity to win a chance to exhibit their artwork at the festival. We’re really pleased to be on board with the festival and we’re looking forward to contributing to what looks set to be a great event for the City.”
