Organisers are planning to shake things up a little with some higher profile artists, awesome new venues, in- spiring exhibitions plus much more whilst keeping true to the Lunar spirit of years gone by. Taking its name from The Lunar Society of Birmingham, a group which began in the eighteenth century & led by Erasmus Darwin, whose debates brought together Philosophy,Arts, Science and Commerce. As well as debating and discovering, the ‘Lunarticks’ also built canals and factories, managed world-class businesses and changed the face of Birmingham. Today, The Lunar Society provides a platform for its membership to “influence change through stimulating ideas, broadening de- bate and catalysing action”. Taking inspi- ration from this, Lunar Festival will not only bring World-class artists to our stages, but encourage everyone to get in- volved in our workshops, talks and more. Lunar Festival aims to allow everyone to leave at the end of the weekend with a sense of having learnt something new or having been inspired to take action in a new way.  www.lunarfestival.co.uk Lunar Festival Returns
