It’s here! RoolaBoola 2008, the Linenhall Arts Centre’s fun-packed 11th annual arts fest for young people is under way, culminating in a breathlessly brilliant bank holiday weekend of fun and frolics from October 25 to 27. So come along and join in with the magic!

And, last but not least, to everyone both young and old who came along and supported all the events so enthusiastically. Thank you all!
