Back to our Roots

Pedestrian, a Leicester-based arts and education organisation is celebrating it’s 25^th anniversary having supporting over 62,500 children and young people experiencing disadvantages and challenges across Leicester, Leicestershire and beyond.

To celebrate this milestone, Pedestrian is hosting a Turntablism Festival where they will take you back to where it all began, ‘Back to our Roots!’ Pedestrian started as a Turntablism collective set up by a group of friends in late 1997 as a vehicle for providing training to 11-24 year olds in the creation of music using vinyl records and turntables, or Turntablism.

Pedestrian uses the arts and creativity as a vehicle to engage, empower and enrich children and young people’s lives, who experience challenges & disadvantages. Since 1998, Pedestrian have been delivering high quality creative activity providing education, training and outreach projects for children and young people in Leicester and beyond.
