BonkersFest! ’06 attracted significant media interest particularly from the local South London Press. A prop sheep was stolen and the paper initiated a campaign and an award to find the sheep who was indeed found in a bush. Since then the sheep has featured in a campaign to save the local Emergency 24 hour psychiatric walk in clinic led by Southwark Mind and Creative Routes.

Creative Routes has featured in the news both ITV and BBC London. On BBC3 I Love Being Mad. BonkersFest! has featured on Inside Out on BBC1 in October 2006, will be screened on Balderdash and Piffle BBC2 in the Spring, and featured in the Independent on Sunday Magazine on March 18th 2007.

BonkersFest ’08 presents a varied programme and incorporates a diverse range of arts practitioners which is reflected by its partners. Creating new opportunities for artists to interact with communities and to forge interactions between mad and normal communities is one of the key aims of BonkersFest!
