Last week I was on a campsite in Norfolk running a music venue/café at a youth festival. It’s always a privilege to be able to create a space for young people that didn’t exist when I was a teenager. A place that values their creativity, encourages them to engage with the arts, and allows them to be themselves - however that looks.
The venue I ran was alongside a number of others and by the end of the week we were all tired and worn out. With one day to go I wrote this piece with my other café managers in mind.
