THE LYTTELTON Arts<br />
Festival wrapped up on<br />
Sunday, after 10 days<br />
jam-packed with local<br />
talent.<br />
More than 2500 people<br />
attended the festival,<br />
which was a great<br />
success, organiser Skye<br />
Broberg said.<br />
“It was really<br />
wonderful, overall, with<br />
the response we had.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> second week<br />
featured acts like Lizzie<br />
Tollemache’s Bedtime<br />
Stories for Grown-Ups,<br />
which Broberg said<br />
was magical – and the<br />
Lyttelton Arts Factory<br />
may look to host once a<br />
month.<br />
“It was so wonderful,<br />
everyone was just floating<br />
out on a high,” she said.<br />
Hosted at <strong>The</strong> Chapel,<br />
the room was filled<br />
with candles and comfy<br />
seating, for Tollemache’s<br />
audience to relax on<br />
while they listened to her<br />
tell folk tales.<br />
“That was special and<br />
something we’re really<br />
looking to develop in the<br />
future,” Broberg said.<br />
While the festival has<br />
only just ended, Broberg<br />
is already thinking about<br />
next year.<br />
She said she hopes to<br />
host the festival for two<br />
weeks and to incorporate<br />
some wearable art.<br />
She also said the<br />
Lyttelton Arts Factory<br />
could look wider for<br />
acts and attract more<br />
performers from<br />
Auckland or Wellington.<br />
