Arts Fresco To Return To Market Harborough

One of Market Harborough’s most popular events – Arts Fresco – is returning this September after a gap of two years.

The free street arts festival will be held on Sunday September 11th, with 14 wacky acts already confirmed to perform.

The event, which will mark its 20th anniversary this year, is one of the oldest and largest of its kind in the country and is set to  attract thousands of people to the town centre.

Volunteer organisers have secured funding of £29,000 to put on Arts Fresco, including a grant from the Arts Council and support from local businesses.

Neil Kitson is chair of the Arts Fresco committee and spoke to HFM’s Nick Shaw:
