CARE WEEKENDER 2024
The Care Weekender took place in Summer 2024. For three days, the festival took over Playhouse Square and filled it with free family friendly performances, music, creative workshops, a free community lunch table and health and wellbeing stalls.
The festival also featured the premiere of Harlow Cares, a film made with the local community, and the first outing of The Care We See, a new interactive outdoor show by Rhiannon Faith Company.
“I am really enjoying everything today.
Sharing community spirit..Thank you for everything you are doing for our community.”
“Beautiful to see thoughtful, multidisciplinary art with and for the Harlow community ❤️ ”
