YOUTH ARTS FRIENDSHIP FIELD

The Youth Arts Friendship Field (YAFF) is a relatively new edition to the fantastic Knowsley Flower Show. The YAFF is an area designated for young people to celebrate and explore a multitude of imaginative art forms. It is an exciting opportunity for young people to express themselves in the magically decorated zone, with opportunities to make your own artistic masterpiece, sing out loud, chill out under the trees and much, much more!

The theme is love, peace and friendship and essentially about celebrating difference. It’s a
Glastonbury-like experience and not to be missed! Over 100 young people perform at the event including dance groups, bands and solo artists.

If you would like to be involved or perform please call Knowsley Arts Service on 0151 430 7787
