MANCHESTER

Lucy Barker
Host
Manchester born and bred, Lucy has bounced around the Northern creative scene for the best part of the last decade.
As an actress, teacher and poet, she has dedicated herself to projects and organisations that bring people together to express themselves through the performing and visual arts.
Lucy is also an advocate for invisible disability awareness, after an undiagnosed chronic illness led to an extended spell in hospital during the summer of 2019.
Lucy leads her life believing that strength is found in adversity and that creativity is a potent tool anyone can access to deal with trauma.
