The Hull Freedom Festival has been awarded funding from the Arts Council England (ACE), despite the fact that the body had its budget cut by £100 million following the Spending Review.
The music and performance arts festival has received £100,000 from the ACE, which will enable it to continue adding more than £5 million to Hull’s economy.
Last year’s Freedom festival featured performances from The Wanted, McFly and Alesha Dixon, as well as an aerial acrobatics performance from Transe Express, the Monster Madness parade and an astounding fireworks display.
Details for the 2011 festival have not yet been revealed, but an announcement is expected soon.
