The Festival is organised annually but in a different part of the Episcopal Area each year and runs in parallel with an already established community arts festival within the Area. In 2011 the Festival ran in parallel with the Leytonstone Festival, in 2012 with the Woodford Festival and in 2013 with the Heart 4 Harlow Festival.
