Bath is gearing itself up for its second Digital Festival.
The week-long festival, which launches tomorrow at the Roman Baths, will include an array of workshops, lectures and networking events.
The festival will see the debut of a Creative Masterclass Series run by the internationally renowned X Media Lab team, and featuring sessions with the special effects experts behind Skyfall, Batman, Inception and Harry Potter.
A unique two-day hack event will be hosted by Genesis frontman and digital innovator Peter Gabriel at his Real World Studios in Box and Britain's very first Rails Girls workshop, which takes women from the very basics of coding through to building simple apps in a day, will be hosted during the festival.
A highlight of the festival will be the SPARKies, the south west region's tech and digital awards, being held at Komedia and hosted by award-winning comedian Jarred Christmas.
The festival will also include a family weekend with Bath's first digital fun fair.
Festival director, David Kelly, said:"Yet again Bath's digital sector is competing on a global scale. For a small city we're attracting huge amounts of investment and have an extraordinarily high level of digital enterprise and entrepreneurship.
"A competitive commercial sector combined with two outstanding local universities specialising in computer science, engineering and design, really put Bath on the map for digital. The huge groundswell of activity demonstrated through the growth of the Festival this year reinforces that."
