FREE ARTS FESTIVAL IN ASSOCIATION WITH FLEETWOOD FESTIVAL OF TRANSPORT

WELCOME TO SPAREPARTS

SpareParts is a new transport inspired arts festival taking place in Fleetwood this summer. Developed in conjunction with Fleetwood’s world famous festival of transport (Tram Sunday), the festival is designed to capture the imagination of audiences who attend this already well established event.

Over twenty different artists will be performing in a range of different locations around Fleetwood – check the timetable to make sure you don’t miss out on the free programme of events.

SpareParts has been brought to you by LeftCoast in partnership with the Fleetwood Festival of Transport and Wyre Council with additional support from Without Walls. LeftCoast is a new arts programme across Blackpool and Wyre that aims to get more people inspired and involved in arts activities of all kinds.

It is funded by Arts Council England and a consortium of partners across Blackpool and Wyre. Sign up to our newsletter at www.leftcoast.org.uk to see what other exciting events are happening this year.
