Returning for its sixth year this July, the Northwich Festival of Arts is set to transform the town into a vibrant hub of creativity and culture. Organisers are now inviting artists, performers, and creatives from all disciplines to contribute to this dynamic celebration by leading workshops, classes, and performances throughout the month.
The festival, a collaborative effort by Visual Arts Cheshire, Northwich Art Shop, Northwich Business Improvement District (BID), and Barons Quay, aims to showcase the rich tapestry of artistic talent in the region. From painting and sculpture to dance and spoken word, the festival offers a platform for creatives to engage with the community and inspire others.

Lynn Riley, Manager of Northwich BID, added: “The Festival of Arts is a celebration of Northwich’s vibrant spirit and a testament to the power of creativity in bringing people together. We encourage everyone, from seasoned artists to first-time workshop leaders, to contribute their unique talents. This is an opportunity to ignite creativity, foster connections, and leave a lasting impression on our community.”
