Following last year’s great success, the fantastic World of Wonka returns and will deal with issues that affect young peoples’ lives.
Topics addressed will include domestic abuse, poverty, alcohol, sectarianism and legal highs amongst others.
Over 50 local young people volunteer to be involved in developing this and will be working all summer to put together this award winning educational experience.
Now in its seventh year, the award winning event returns to Dock Park this year.
Tickets for Youth Beatz are free, although tickets will be required and can be obtained from www.youthbeatz.co.uk.
Priority will be given to ticket applications from Dumfries and Galloway postcodes to ensure as many local residents get to attend the event.
