In case you missed it, we recently recorded a podcast where MAYK’s Co-Directors Kate Yedigaroff and Matthew Austin discussed what it feels like for Mayfest not to be happening this year, and what the future may or may not hold. You can listen to the podcast on the soundcloud link below, and we’ve also included a text version of the conversation below.

Songs for the end of the world.

Spanning three years of Mayfest artists, Arias for an Apocalypse was a programme developed for Mayfest Radio. What songs would you choose to hear in the apocalypse?

If you're stuck for what to buy the theatre-lover in your life, or if you're looking for a special gift for someone who likes to try something new, search no further.

Two shows made right here in Bristol and supported by MAYK are heading across the pond in the New Year as part of Vancouver’s PuSh Festival.

Late last year we announced that we were successful in our bid to Arts Council England’s Strategic Touring Fund to present and tour three international participatory arts projects.

And now we can tell you what those projects are.

As we round off the year, here's a visual reminder of some of the best bits of our 2016. Merry Christmas!

Hello friends. We have some Mayfest news.

We're taking a year off next year. Mayfest has been rampaging all over Bristol for, well, years. In the past few years the festival has increased quite dramatically in terms of reach, scale and ambition. And this year, we've really struggled to secure the additional investment we need in order to bring you the festival to which you are accustomed. As you may be aware, the pressures of fundraising in the current climate make delivering an annual festival very demanding. So we'll be back in 2018, and every 'even' year after that. In order to keep thriving, we need longer to make it all happen.
