The seventh edition of the Holloway Arts Festival has just come to an end. In total over 8,000 people have taken part in this year's festival making it a huge success. The packed 10-day programmed featured over 40 events, which showcased the work of local artists and film makers and brought national and international performers to the area, as well as giving people a chance to try out arts activities in workshops. As one local mum said to me, “There really is something for everyone this year”. Not only have there been some great new events like the Stand Up Comedy for Children with Paul Lyalls and Simon Munnery and Archway Open House (artists exhibited their work in venues around Holloway and Archway) but also plenty of the familiar, popular activities like the Arts and Crafts stalls in the Arts Zone on the Big Day Out in Whittington Park and our own film festival, Reel Islington Screenings.
