To celebrate together over the August bank holiday weekend, a brand-new festival is coming to town. Art Reach in association with Leicester City Council present re/action festival: exploring creativity for the climate. A huge part of the festival will be dedicated to upcycling and using creative workshops that will teach us how to use old things in new ways. The festival will explore issues surrounding the climate crisis, such as sustainability, recycling and how small actions can lead to big changes. On Saturday, 26 August, and Sunday, 27 August, we invite everybody into the city centre to enjoy outdoor shows, giant puppets and tiny creatures. Audiences will explore the world of bees and trees, and see an orchestra perform on vegetable instruments and soup.
