10 kg of popcorn, wow :)

THANK YOU EVERYONE! We just finished our first festival - WOAH! What a great three weeks we've had and we couldn't have done it without you!

So THANK YOU! You rock!

Whether you came to an event, performed, ran a workshop, forwarded an email, shared an event or sent us a tweet of support, it kept us going and allowed us to do some great stuff that we're really proud to have made happen.

To put things into context, here's what we got up to in numbers:

Over 3 weeks we hosted 21 events, performances, workshops, discussions and masterclasses.

Supported 31 artists present work as part of Nottingham European Arts and Theatre Festival, 58% of whom had never shared work in the region before.

We welcomed 68 local performers, artists, practitioners, teachers and young people to take part in workshops, discussions and masterclasses.

Saw hundreds of new audience members come and see incredibly exciting contemporary theatre.

Transformed our spaces into a cinema, cabaret club, gallery, bar, rave and banqueting hall.

We had a social reach of over 197,000 people. 4,168 people joined our conversation on Twitter and another 5,556 people engaged with our activities on Facebook.

We used up 5 rolls of gaffa tape, 250 plastic cups, 24 timelapses, 45m of blackout fabric, over 250m of cabling and 10kg of popcorn.

And all with no funding!

HIT SHARE AND WE'LL SEE YOU SOON TO SHAKE IT AGAIN!

We also want to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU to those who have supported us: our Neat Festival partners, Nottingham Playhouse, Nottingham Lakeside Arts, Theatre Royal & Royal Concert Hall and Dance4; our incredible volunteers Chloe, Louisa and Andrew; and the marketing champions who've celebrated our activity throughout the festival: our army of supporters on social media, Notts TV, LeftLion, the Creative Quarter, Nottingham, What Next? Nottingham, What's on in Nottingham and BBC East Midlands Today.
