This year’s Festival Theme is Empowerment. After the terrible year that we have all endured, it’s time to look ahead, appreciate what we have and plan for the future, whether this is looking after ourselves and our physical and mental health, our personal life journeys or our planet.
We have many treats in store for you – we have four festival days jam packed with dance, spoken word, music and theatre as well as new collaborations, specially commissioned works and a brand new short film festival.

In the face of our present adversity we are especially grateful to the Brownsword Charitable Foundation, Somerset West & Taunton Council, The Schroder Charity Trust, Trevor Smallwood, Philip Gibbs and our many other supporters for their ongoing and enthusiastic support for Tyca. Without them it would be impossible to enable the young people of Taunton to take part in what has now become a unique opportunity to express their creativity.
