New Beginnings Festival is all about fostering an inclusive society that promotes equal opportunities through arts and culture initiatives.
First in, best dressed
As this is a popular and free event, we expect the venue to reach maximum capacity at some points during the festival. This means you might have to queue up on the day even if you have reserved a ticket. We recommend you come in early not to miss your favourite artist. We look forward to seeing you at New Beginnings Festival.
