Festive Road is an Outdoor Arts Organisation based in Milton Keynes - but the world is our oyster!

We produce large-scale puppetry, commissioned sculptures & artwork for clients both nationally & internationally. We & our creations love participating in festivals, parades, carnivals, cultural celebrations,& more …We have developed techniques to make unique, mechanically-powered, giant puppets & structures. Our fusion of art & engineering creates the opportunity for imagination & technology to come together in ingenious & inspiring ways - leading to some truly innovative creations.

Fundamental to our purpose is the desire to promote & support creative activities; encourage social inclusion; improve health & well-being & break down barriers between different groups in society; nurture new talent - both in terms of performers & makers; promote skill-sharing, volunteering, work experience, apprenticeships & other opportunities within the community.

Why the community needs us
Our activities benefit the community socially & economically. We work with a number of diverse organisations to bring a wide range of events to all sectors of the community, helping to increase public engagement in arts and culture. Our experience with community events and workshops, encompasses a range of environments, and people from a variety of age groups, genders and backgrounds.

Our impact on the community
Bringing audiences unique experiences through our fusion of art and engineering - creating beauty beyond the moment. Utilising recycled materials whenever possible, we show that discarded and unwanted items can be used in wonderfully creative ways.We advocate a hands-on approach, providing the opportunity for people to express their creativity. We believe art crosses all barriers - giving people a commonality, beyond language, cultural & physical differences.
