Thousands Enjoy Arts Fresco In Market Harborough

Thousands of people turned out to enjoy Arts Fresco in Market Harborough yesterday.

Crowds were entertained by a host of wacky acts in the town centre, as the free street theatre festival returned for a 21st year.

Some of the country’s best performers took part in the event and even a sharp shower during the afternoon did not dampen spirits.

Neil Kitson, chair of the volunteer organising committee, told HFM he was delighted with how the day went:

People are being thanked for donating to bucket collections during the day to help fund Arts Fresco, as organisers were around £12,000 short this year and had to use money from reserves to cover costs, despite the generosity of sponsors and efforts to raise funds.

Duncan Murray was one of the volunteers who was collecting donations:
