A CELEBRATION of recycling and thriftiness has picked up a regional award.
The Festival of Thrift at Kirkleatham picked up the Best Event at the annual Journal Culture Awards
Stella Hall, festival director said: “I am absolutely thrilled with our award and it is a real privilege to have been chosen as the best award winner for the second time in our short life. The category’s shortlist was extremely strong, featuring two other amazing events, Middlesbrough Council’s Nightfall and Stockton International Riverside Festival’s Furious Folly at Preston Park, so we are extremely proud of our achievement.”
The 2017 event is to take place over the weekend of September 23 and 24 at Kirkleatham Museum and Grounds.
