BAFTA award winning composer Ilona Sekacz will lead the Godiva Awakes Choir* in their first public performance singing a specially composed choral piece.
12.15pm MAD UK Live featuring MAD Heads
Imagineer’s annual competition, MAD UK Live, celebrating the talents of emerging young designers. A choreographed showcase presenting this years’ most extreme sculptural costume design, will be judged live by fashion designer and MAD UK patron, Zandra Rhodes. Compered by Osadia, the theme for this years’ competition is indomitable nature.
MAD Heads is an open competition inviting members of the public to be inventive and test their own creative skills by designing and wearing expressive headgear on the day. Members of the public creating their own MAD Heads could win a cash prize of £250 on the day!
2.00pm Osadia
From Barcelona, Osadia will be on the streets in their usual outrageous costumes sculpting extraordinary hair on unsuspecting members of the public.
