The International Youth Arts Festival (IYAF) began with both established and up-and-coming artists taking the stage at the Rose Theatre.
The Next Level event on Friday was the beginning of 17 days of artistic endeavours including dance, theatre and music.
The following day, pupils from Coombe Boys' and Girls' schools took over Eden Walk to perform in the Buzz dance event, and on Tuesday, Creative Youth honorary president Prince Edward was the guest of honour at a gala night.
