We are massive fans of the VAULT Festival, which takes place over January to March each year. It's grown year on year, and in 2023 will be hosting over 500 shows, ranging from theatre, comedy, cabaret and anything else you can put on in one of its many spaces. 

But they have now been informed by the venue landlord that their lease is not being renewed for 2024, and so they are now seeking a new home for the future. So we wanted to give them the chance to explain what is happening and why they are seeking to raise £150,000 by the end of this year's festival to ensure their future.

Bec Martin, Head of Programming, found the time to chat with us about all this, and whilst we had it, it would have been a waste not to also ask her about some of her highlights of this year's festival, and how people can go about applying to be part of the future festivals.
