B.O.P Fest Success!

Jack Drum Arts Youth Board are among the winners of this year’s County Durham Environment Awards for their work on B.O.P Fest 2022!

The awards, which are run by Durham County Council each year on behalf of the County Durham Environment and Climate Change Partnership, recognise the outstanding work that has taken place to improve the local environment.

Now in its 33rd year, the event celebrates schools, businesses, community groups and individuals that go the extra mile to look after their communities and promote sustainability.

Building our Planet (BOP) Festival, which was held at Glenholme Park, Crook, in the summer by Jack Drum Arts was named the winner in the Volunteer Group of the Year category.

The free, family-friendly festival of live music, art and street theatre was set around the theme of going green.
