The Committee are asking local residents and businesses, as well any past visitors to the Festivals, to search through their photo and video archives for any relevant photographs or video footage from previous Festivals.

Inclusion in a mini-exhibition may also be considered for display at a local location leading up, during and after the 2018 Festival.
