“The fantastic festival programme was very much welcomed with such a variety of high quality events on offer. I would encourage businesses to make the most of this opportunity and encourage their staff to book on and attend as many of the events as they can.


“The uniqueness of the festival is that there is something for everyone over the two weeks and it is free to attend. The bite-sized format means that people can take part at a time that suits their working day but also the festival adds value short term and longer term too.”
