We are delighted to announce that tickets are now on sale for our Opening Night Concert on Friday 19th September 2025 this time with not one great act but two! Also, being in control of the finances we decided to significantly reduce the ticket prices to an absolute bargain basement ‘early bird’ price of £12 for two such good acts.
Tin Giants are a 6-piece multi-instrumental band – in great demand in 2025! You can see them at Chester, Ely or Shrewsbury Folk Festivals + Broadstairs Folk Weekend OR you can catch them on your doorstep at Royston Arts Festival for a fraction of the cost.
If that isn’t enough of a bargain you also get Bird In The Belly who are a highly original and musically accomplished folk band with brilliant vocals and 3 critically acclaimed albums – by the likes of The Guardian & The Observer.
This all takes place in the wonderfully atmospheric and excellent acoustic environment of the brilliantly refurbished post-fire Royston Parish Church. For more information on the bands, timings and ticket links click HERE. To go directly to ticket bookings click this LINK.
We are still looking for news of old buildings in Royston that might be of interest to the public and link with our festival theme ‘Then and Now‘ – read our News/Blog on the subject for more information.
We have had a good response so far and have lots of events in the planning stage but we are also still looking for people, businesses and other organisations or groups to get involved in the 2025 Royston Arts Festival
Theming your event or activity is not essential, and the theme is open to interpretation, though theming your event will help to increase the overall impact of the Festival.
You may, for example, want to focus on our changing and growing dynamic town or your own artistic styles that have adapted and grown. Or you may choose to simply focus on the “Now” and the art you are working on currently.
Everyone is welcome to create and host an event for the Festival.
Art, drama, music, workshops, dance, photography, craft… if you are creative we’d love you to get involved!
We simply ask that if you are planning on organising an event, that you submit your idea to us at your earliest opportunity via the form at the end of the Organise An Event page which we recommend that you read first.
The form allows you to submit full event details when you are ready, or simply to register your idea with us.
If you are at the ideas stage, one of the committee will be in touch to discuss what is needed from a compliance/insurance point of view.
Your event will be marketed by Creative Royston in our printed programme, social media and online in the run up to the Festival.
Keep in touch with us on Facebook, Instagram & X
