Wensleydale Community Arts Festival

The Wensleydale Community Arts Festival is Leyburn’s annual celebration of creativity, local talent, and the vibrant arts scene in our rural community. Hosted annually by Blueboxt Creative & Performing Arts, the festival brings together artists, performers, and audiences of all ages for a variety of arts-based events across Wensleydale & Swaledale.

2026 will mark our 4th year, and the festival continues to grow, featuring everything from kids’ workshops and concerts to film showings, evening music performances, and variety shows. You’ll find events happening all over Wensleydale.

In addition to performances and exhibitions, the festival includes makers’ markets, live arts demonstrations, and activity days for children, offering opportunities for the whole community to get involved.
