Bankfest

#Bankfest is a writing festival which celebrates fiction and non-fiction, for the benefit of pupils from local secondary schools: Sir John Colfox School, Beaminster School and Budmouth Academy. The festival exists to further The Bank of Dreams and Nightmares’ provision in Dorset by creating opportunities for pupils living in areas experiencing rural disadvantage to take part in a large, cultural event; to be introduced to a broad range of writers; to experience being part of the production of a festival; to write with professional writers; and to learn about the career options available to those who are good with words.
