The Hub is the beating heart of the festival, where we will be celebrating the very best of local music, delicious food, debate and interesting workshops.

We have invited local youth bands from the area to perform and share the stage with some surprise exciting names.

A lively feature of the Hub will be Big Brue's Speakers' Corner platform, where our audience can step forward and share an idea alongside our invited speaker.

Across the weekend, the festival moves between structured discussion and informal exchange – between listening and taking part, through speech, performance and entertainment.
