Holmfirth Arts Festival celebrates creativity in the landscape by inspiring diverse communities to engage with the arts and their heritage. ‘This year’s Festival theme, Forces of Nature, is deeply inspired by our location in the Peak District National Park and we have invited the best local, national and international artists to respond to the environment, our unique landscape and its wonderful people, in all their diversity.’
In response to “Flow of Words” in 2024, our Young Creatives from Saturday Art Clubs will be making a flock of pretty pigeons!
You’re invited!
