About us...

Wotton under Edge Arts Festival’s aim is to encourage artistic talent, both local and from further afield.  The endeavour is to present a varied programme of arts to appeal to all the community.

The longevity of the Festival is due in no small part to its strong community base and the support of local people and organisations.

We look forward to  seeing you at some of our events.

2018 Wotton Arts Festival

After nearly 50 years the Arts Festival in Wotton is still flourishing and we are delighted that Ali Vowles has agreed to be our Patron. The Festival’s strength is in the local content which is spiced up by talents from further afield.  Expect to see the usual core events through the week but watch out for The Bristol Ensemble’s popular programme with clarinettist Katie Jenner from Wotton. The Wotton connections go on with Justine Tomlinson, her sister, Juliet, and Laurence Kempton with poetry interludes from Dr. Rosie Bailey for a Sunday afternoon concert treat.  There will be a special film evening at Under the Edge Arts about the poet Charles Causley with live guitar music by Jim Causley.  Following its successful debut last year the photography competition theme this year is Hidden Gloucestershire.
