DAiSY FEST SATURDAY CELEBRATION

Join DAiSY and its network of member organisations and DAiSY-Chain artists on Saturday 22nd November for a full day of inclusive arts and community-led creativity. This special event highlights the work of artists from across Surrey and beyond, offering a rich mix of performances, exhibitions, workshops, and screenings.

Throughout the venue, visitors can explore a wide range of artistic experiences – from live music, dance to film screenings and immersive installations. Participatory activities, such as collaborative canvas painting and clay sculpture workshops, offer opportunities for everyone to get involved, while curated exhibitions explore themes like connection, place, and identity.

Organisations including Freewheelers, Bloomin’ Arts, Orpheus, Post19, Art Venture, Creative Response, and others will share their work in spaces throughout the building – transforming G-Live into a hub of creative exchange.

Free, family-friendly, and inclusive. This event is open to the public.

Info: Across the day, the stage and foyer will host live music, dance, and theatre from Bloomin’ Arts, Halow, Include, Head2Head Sensory Theatre, Freewheelers, Post19’s band The Heroes, and LinkAble—featuring everything from puppet-led folk tales to inclusive choir performances. In the cinema, enjoy short films and showreels from Freewheelers, Dramatize, Post19, LinkAble, Stopgap, Orpheus, and The Meath Epilepsy Charity.

Festival stalls will line the foyers with interactive displays, handmade goods, and information stands from nearly every group involved, including Lockwood Studios, Halow, Include, The Grange, Dramatize, and others. From quiet installations to energetic performances, the DAiSY FEST offers a rich mix of accessible, inclusive, and community-led arts for all ages and abilities.
