Joy Festival Scratch Nights

Description

The Joy Festival Scratch Nights are the culmination of Turtle Key Art's Joy Festival 2026. Joy Festival is a disability and community arts festival which offers mentoring to disabled artists, upskilling workshops to support creative careers and creative workshops in local community groups. The Joy Festival Scratch Nights will feature performances from our four mentored Joy artists and four local H&F community groups (Mencap, AoD, The Creighton Centre and E-Unique). The artforms featured include burlesque, new writing, spoken word, dance, music and circus. Both nights of performance will be relaxed performances with audiences allowed to enter and exit the performances as they need to.
