ROOTS Festival 2023, is Vivid Roots Collective’s first ever theatre festival for Highland and emerging theatre-makers. Join them in Inverness on Fri 29 – Sat 30 September 2023 in celebrating the talented artists in the region, learning new skills, and meeting like-minded creatives with talks, workshops, performances and networking.
