‘Who Is Newbridge?’ FREE

2pm - 6pm

Participants were asked a simple question, 'Who Is Newbridge?’

Almost 25,000 people live in Newbridge. What ties us all together? The young and the old, those who have been here for years and those who are newcomers, What do the different communities and groups have in common?

Come to the town hall and be immersed in personal stories, photographs and films that seek to find the answer.

‘Who Is Newbridge?’ invites us to reflect on ourselves through each other. The project draws connections and examines the transformative power of every day life.

Performance at 2pm followed by afternoon tea.
