Countdown to MakeBelieve Arts 10th Anniversary begins...

MakeBelieve Arts was born in the bedroom of a flat in Deptford on 02.02.02, so next month turns 10 years old on 02.02.12.

To celebrate they have have compiled a book of MakeBelieve Arts testimonials. From poems to anecdotes, funny recollections to moving memoirs, the MakeBelieve memory book has it all!

They will be posting 10 teasers on their Facebook wall, Twitter and blog in the lead-up to the BIG DAY when they will feature the whole book on their website. Check back every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for a new testimonial taster.
