Swindon Youth Festival 2006 

A free festival for young people in the Town Gardens, Swindon, was described as "neat", "radical", "wicked" and most definitely, "awesome" by all those who attended – the teenagers, anyway!

The vibrant event, aimed at and organised by 13 – 19 year-olds, encompassed live bands, (which were auditioned and booked by one of the youth groups themselves) stalls, an art area, plus an activity and a performing arts zone.

 
"The Swindon youth festival has opened our eyes to what is available for teenagers in the town, whilst showing us how capable, and inspired they are," said one organiser.
