Northwich Festival of Arts is back for 2025, and organisers are on the lookout for artists and creatives.

Now in its eighth year, the festival has helped thousands of people enjoy creative and engaging activities through its month-long celebration.  2025 promises to be no different, and Northwich Business Improvement District (representing town centre businesses) is delighted to be again working in partnership with Visual Arts Cheshire and Northwich Art Shop to deliver the Northwich Festival of Arts 2025 – a public arts festival.

We are now seeking expressions of interest from artists/creators to host activities and workshops throughout the month of the Festival of Arts. As activities are free-to-attend for users and in the past some sessions have had poor attendance, we are particularly keen to hear from artists who can offer sessions that people can attend on the day. Each session should be targeted for 2 – 21/2 hours, with most activities being delivered on Saturdays during July at a venue in or around Northwich Town Centre. Please think creatively about how your activity can engage the widest audience.

Deadline for applications: 20th May 2025

Please note: It is essential that providers hold appropriate and valid public liability insurance for running workshops / sessions. We will need to see copies of this as part of our process.

The Festival of Arts is funded by Northwich BID, and delivered through a fantastic partnership between the BID, Visual Arts Cheshire, Northwich Art Shop and Barons Quay.
