Overground Underground: Festival of the Ingleborough Dales

I co-founded this annual festival with a friend in response to our realisation that many local young people did not know about, or make full use of, the extraordinary area we lived in - the foothills of one of North Yorkshire's Three Peaks.  We started a community-led festival to celebrate the unique landscape of Ingleborough - our mountain - both above and below the ground, drawing from the passion and experience of people living and working in our community.  In 2013 I secured core funding for 4 years for the Festival through the National Lottery Heritage Fund, via the Yorkshire Dales Stories In Stone initiative.  The Festival continues to thrive and is now in it's 9th year.
