“When we started L Fest early 2011 we never thought for one moment that we would win awards in our first year, so we were over the moon! The awards mean so much because all the hard work that the whole team puts into it is recognised and when up against other longer running and bigger events it makes this an even bigger achievement! Here are our awards to date:”
