Our printed programme for the 2026 Royston Arts Festival will be circulated with the September edition of The Listing magazine but already you can buy tickets for 3 festival events. Have a look at the posters on the right or below for mobiles.

We are delighted to have a film as part of the festival again after an interval of a few years and it is hoped that this will become a regular event at future festivals. This year you can see the hugely popular family film E.T. on Saturday 12th September which seems to perfectly fit our festival theme Above and Beyond.

We have already stated how excited we were to announce the start of ticket sales for the 2026 festival in the form of a Family Folk Show by leading folk duo MEGSON which takes place on Sunday 27th September.

The third event for which you can now buy tickets is Music At The Museum on Friday 2nd October which is jointly organised by Creative Royston and The Friends Of The Museum. The first half features the brilliant 3Folk: Jane Ward (accordion), Simon Cooper (cello) and Bryan Causton (mandolin/guitar/bouzouki) who play an eclectic mix of traditional, celtic and european influenced folk and original compositions. ‘Fen Song‘, is a beautiful haunting sequence of poetry and folk music inspired by the East Anglian landscape, combining the words of the late Clare Crossman with songs by award winning singer- songwriter Penni McLaren Walker.
