The buntings out which can mean only one thing – Belle Vue Arts Festival is back! This year our theme is WILD and that starts with the great outdoors.
Making the most of our beautiful local area, the festival have teamed up with the Wildlife Trust and Friends of Rea Brook Valley LNR to make this a really special event. A packed events calendar includes free tree trails, Rea Brook trails and activities, Open Gardens and an Art and Scarecrow trail along with an outdoor exhibition of children’s artwork, local artists and national artist Matt Sewell.
Venturing inside, the festival offers Poetry, Photography and a chance to look around the various Barnabas Community Projects. As always there is something for everyone of all ages.
Running throughout June and July, make sure you don’t miss out on our packed fun filled programme!
