Young Promoter’s Festival: Big By Little (2016)
Seven young promoter groups across the four Black Country boroughs came together to create and promote their own festival, titled “Big By Little”. The groups (comprising of almost 200 young people) brought their local communities seven family-friendly events in June 2016 as part of the first Young Promoters festival supported by Black Country Touring.
All aspects of this project were chosen, promoted and organised by all of the young people involved in the project. The groups worked together as one large team to bring the first festival co-produced by young people to the region, seven professional shows by seven Young Promoter groups across four boroughs.
