Northwest Gymfest

Fixtures and the calendarPublished

A non-competitive festival sits oddly in a diary of championships, and it is the entry that explains what the programme was for: a day where club teams perform the routines they have been working on, with no result at the end.

Participation days like this are what a bid campaign counts when it talks about legacy, and they are the first listings to disappear from an archive. The rest of the diary is in Events.

One day event which showcases the best of gymnastic and dance talent in the North West.
This is a festival which is fun, non-competitive and open to everyone whether you are a beginner or an advanced performer. It's a chance to see exciting routines other teams have been working on and share this gymnastics spectacular with your friends and family in a stress-free and enjoyable setting.
Each team will have up to 8 minutes to impress with their routines. Don't forget costumes can be an exciting part of the festival too!
