Ashby Arts Festival celebrates art, drama, songwriting, writing and crafts in Ashby de la Zouch and the surrounding areas. The giant outdoor art exhibition makes this festival unique and the largest outdoor art gallery in the area.   

Festival Now over for 2009..

Some comments:

"Thank you very much for the opportunity to have open studios as part of the festival. I thought the publicity material was really super and I really enjoyed the whole process."

Gordon Brown in Ashby...

This wonderful painting of Gordon Brown by George Chinnery was exhibited at the 2009 Arts Festival

Every August Ashby hosts the Ashby Arts Festival which features local artists, musicians, song writers, poets, performers, writers and story tellers. The multiple sites around the town host exhibitions, musical performances, workshops and talks, and the town centre is decorated with flags and an outdoor gallery. So there’s a lot going on and we would like to invite you to get involved to make it a success and have fun.
