Littleborough Arts Festival being revamped

Date published: 29 March 2016


Littleborough Arts Festival is now in its 15th year and is being revamped with a new date and new events.

The festival will take place from Saturday 15 to Saturday 22 October 2016 with the popular Open Arts Exhibition and Photographic competition taking place at the Coach House over a long weekend from 15-17 October.

This will be followed by a week of events including an open mic night, a poetry slam and the annual concert at St Barnabas with Project Jam Sandwich.

Funding is being sought for a Lantern Parade and the week will be rounded off with a craft fair at the Coach House.

New this year is the addition of a ‘fringe’, a series of events and exhibitions throughout the area. This will include theatre at Hare Hill House and Ebor Open Studios.

Seven venues for the ‘fringe’ are confirmed but the organisers are looking for more. If you would like to organise an event during the festival email:

Entry forms for the open arts exhibition and photographic competition will be available soon; the theme for the photographic competition will be 'Secret Littleborough'.
