Perhaps you know someone who does? As part of Royston Arts Festival this year we would like to celebrate the connections between Royston and King James I of England and VI of Scotland on the 400th anniversary of his death in 1625.
The 2025 festival theme ‘Then and Now‘ was chosen to allow us to embrace both the connection with King James, in particular, and other historical events, people or activities associated with Royston.
Creative Royston, possibly working together with Royston Museum, would like to create a trail around Royston as part of the 2025 festival involving buildings which have a connection to King James and perhaps other notable people or events in the history of the town. If you would like to help, either by putting forward your own house, or suggesting a building which might qualify then please complete this simple form on our website by clicking HERE.
We are also looking for people, businesses and other organisations or groups to get involved in the 2025 Royston Arts Festival which will take place from Friday 19th to Sunday 28th September.
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
