What an incredible day on Saturday at the 6th annual Unlock Reset Festival at Monkton Park Golf Course in Chippenham. Thank you to everyone who took part, supported, and helped make the day so special — it was everything Kandu Arts is about: a little bit of everything: music, art, food, games, and most importantly, joy and connection.

A massive thank you to Pete and Wendy Claridge for hosting us again in their beautiful setting, and for the amazing bar, burgers, and hot dogs. Huge thanks to all our sponsors: Chippenham School of Jiu Jitsu, Coach Boris, Abney & Baker, The Ruze, and Tora Kai Karate Club Chippenham. Thank you as well to all our volunteers, all our stall holders, and everyone who came along and helped create such a warm and uplifting atmosphere.

Fantastic music throughout the day from:
Tommy Deedigan, Oli Hounsel, CASA, Marylou Farrow, Mike Morrissey and The Free Spirits, Dan Graham, The Choir Club, Harmony-Asia, and Kandu Young People.

Special thanks to Tammy Farrow for the reading and chill tent, and to everyone who brought such good energy and made the festival shine.

Hope to see you all again next year. Stay tuned for our next event — lots of love from Kandu Arts, and enjoy the rest of your summer carrying those good vibes with you. ☀️🌻✨
