Welcome to the 2023 Royston Arts Festival!

We are delighted to launch the festival programme on our website with around 50 events for you to enjoy this year and that rises to around 75 if you count each MusicFest mini-concert separately. .

We hope you will enjoy reading the printed copies of the programme which will soon be dropping through your door with your September edition of The Listing magazine. The aim of the website version is to keep you up-to-date with the additions or amendments that are inevitable when working to copy deadlines 5 weeks in advance of the festival start, and to use the additional space to provide more information where available.

To make it easier for you to choose which events you would like to attend we have presented them below, both in date order and, as far as possible, by type of event. You will find our Finale Concert under ‘Music’ but of course it is also an event for ‘Children & Family’ so the labels are only a guide. Also, see below for our handy festival map.

We hope you have a wonderfully enjoyable festival!

If you attended Royston Kite Festival on Sunday 6th August we hope you enjoyed it and that you picked up one of our fliers with your kite festival programme. If you didn’t just click HERE to view it.

If you did you will have seen that we are working on the inclusion of a wide range of exciting events in this year’s festival now extended and starting on Friday 22nd September. We are currently concentrating on getting as much as possible into our printed festival programme which will appear as a separate publication for the first time since 2019 and will be delivered with the September edition of The Listing magazine in late August.

If you can’t wait until then to find out what delights we have in store then come back to this page around 21st August by which time we hope to have all the festival details available on this and the Royston MusicFest website: roystonmusicfest.uk
