A leading rural arts festival where everyone can enjoy great art in a unique and inspiring setting.

Over the last couple of years Wirksworth Festival has clearly established itself as a key event in the East Midlands cultural calendar.

During 2014 artists exhibited in every conceivable space in the town; houses, historic buildings, churches, shop windows, gardens, pubs and public spaces. We had fantastic performance over a two week period with many sell out shows. A whole weekend of Up And Coming young artists showcasing performance and a magical community event.

The town has a unique attraction, which creates vibrant and exciting opportunities.

Arts Council funding has enabled the Festival to develop an ambitious, high quality contemporary visual arts programme, that has helped the Festival grow in profile and now attracts applications from all over the world.

Thursday 10th Sept- Sunday 20th Sept
