Festival Postponed...

As a result of the latest Government advice we have decided to postpone this 50th Arts Festival at least until the Autumn, but most likely until Spring 2021.  This is done with great regret, but we really have no choice.

Anyone who has bought tickets for any event is asked to retain them, and we will exchange them for new ones to the same event at the time the new Festival is organised.  If there are real problems about this, please contact us via the form on this website.

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.

2020 - the 50th Wotton Arts Festival

Our programme for the Golden celebration of the Arts Festival is now complete, and appears under the appropriate tab.  It runs from the 15th April until 3rd May - a double length Festival for this special year. 

As well as all the usual events, such as St. George's day, the Art Exhibition, the Silver Band concert, Turning the Tables, Schools' Music Evening, Festival Concert and Band on the Hill, there will be a Dramatic Society production, and a John Pilkington talk.  Something completely new will be Aardman Workshops for adults and children, and literary workshops for children and adults.  One of the final events will be Wotton Spring Gardens and Open Studios in collaboration with Under the Edge Arts.  Spike Woods and the Oriana Singers took part in the very first Festival, and will be returning for this 50th one.
