With the aim of providing young artists and performers with a platform, Redhill School hosted its fourth annual Redfest Arts Festival on 4 and 5 October. Filled with loads of vibrancy, talent and good food, the school campus came alive.
Redfest is an annual event hosted by the school in celebration of the country’s finest performers in the arts and food, with quite a few food trucks at the event. First created in 2016, Redfest has grown to become a household name, attended by families of all ages.
