Stephanie Kerr, the Executive Director of BID Leamington and the festival’s director, said “We saw so many phones and cameras capturing the magic and we loved seeing what was posted online, including the creative films that were made.”

“With the help of Nat from Gallery Photiq, we would now love to view the festival through your eyes, and showcase some of your favourite images and films that capture your moments of wow, joy and creativity.”

Visitors also enjoyed ‘The Power of Love’ heart trail around the town centre, and the unveiling of a new permanent mural commissioned by BID Leamington at the Royal Priors Shopping Centre, and created by BRINK Contemporary Arts in collaboration with @mig29_murals.

Led by a voluntary steering group formed in 2020, Spotlight Festival was produced by Kate Livingston of Slate Events.

Many volunteers, local businesses, and partners also helped bring the festival to life.

Charlie Sabin, Jo Derviller from Imaginate Creative, and Pete Smith from PSL Distribution have been thanked for their invaluable support.

Stephanie said: “As we look to the future, we are eager to gather feedback to shape upcoming projects. We encourage attendees and community members to share their thoughts through the survey available on our festival website.”
