Headland Festival 2019
We had the pleasure of been at Headland Festival again this year. The ATY team was there on the Saturday and Sunday day time, with fun activities for all the families. On offer were map making using quills, kite making, making pixie wings and wands and finishing off the days with quiet drawing and painting. The event was a great success with many attending the festival coming and visiting the ATY Tent.
Receiving the following positive feedback on the days: Anon ‘…would have be rubbish here during the day without you…’ and Anon ‘Staxtonbury doesn’t do anything like this.’
Here are some photos from our weekend at Headland Festival 2019. Please follow the link to our Facebook page to see two short videos from the weekend.

Thanks Glaisdale Womens Institute for a warm welcome to your beautiful village just outside Whitby in North Yorkshire. I was pleased to have such a receptive and perceptive audience to my talk on ‘using Art Therapy to express yourself’. You all took part in an impromptu and experiential art therapy group, in a great spirit of exploring something new.
Thank you for the good feedback and fee which I shall donate back into our charitable work.
