Festival Pics

During the festival we were working with Press & Editorial Photography students from University Falmouth who were out and about on the river snapping away.

Their pictures are displayed here on the festival gallery page and were printed and displayed daily on Events Square in Falmouth during the festival.

This project was funded and hopefully will be again next year by the Legacy Trust UK and part of the RELAYS programme.
