Festival director, Steve Cass, said: "Supporting young talent has always been at the heart of what we do.

"The Worcestershire Competitive Arts Festival is a fantastic avenue for discovering gifted performers, and we are excited to give them a stage at Sunshine Festival where they can shine.

"This year we have made significant new investment into the Arts Stage, providing our young performers with the opportunity to experience what it is like to perform at a top UK festival.

"The talent on display from these young performers is excellent."

The collaboration aims to give young artists invaluable exposure and experience in front of a live audience.

It is part of a broader commitment to nurturing the next generation of musical talent and making the arts more accessible to young performers across the region.

Kate Branchett, chair of the Worcestershire Competitive Arts Festival, said: "Our partnership with Sunshine Festival has provided amazing opportunities over the last few years for young performers taking part in WCAF to showcase their talents to a much wider audience.

"We are excited to be taking it to the next level this year with the Arts Stage.

"It means so much to our young performers to be in front of a real audience in this type of festival setting and gives them invaluable experience for the future."S
