Hat Fair is proud to be working with two consortiums and partnerships to develop Street

Arts nationally and in Europe. Without Walls is a national network of key Street Arts
Festivals and ZEPA is a partnership between Southern English and French partners.

The ZEPA Network an INTEREG Funded partnership.

ZEPA is an exciting innovative Trans-National partnership between five UK and four

French Street Theatre and Outdoor Arts Producers and Festivals with whom Hat Fair will
be working with over the next three years to produce, commission and support many
Outdoor Arts projects and shows together.

Together with both UK and French Outdoor Artists and Performers, we will be presenting
all the work on the streets of the INTEREG region and at its partners’ events and
festivals, from Cornwall to Brittany, Great Yarmouth to Amiens, Newhaven to Rouen and
many other places in between.

There will also be many other artistic and human exchanges alongside the presentations,
including workshops, volunteering opportunities, education and inter generational
projects.

We hope these projects and events will touch the hearts of all who engage, watch and
participate.

Winchester Hat Fair

Culture Commune – Loos en Gohelle
