Community Arts Trail

And that’s not all - as part of the festival, local groups have been working with artists to produce giant sculpture, pottery, textile collage and ‘a show for one in the smallest theatre in the world’! Their creations will be showcased at venues across Farnham, forming an exciting ‘town trail’. A printed guide and volunteers will be available on the day to help people explore these spaces (An Awards for All funded project).

Throughout May 

And the festival is just the beginning! Throughout May, Farnham Creates will continue to inspire, entertain and engage, as venues across the town deliver a wide ranging programme of exhibitions, music festivals, workshops and more. Highlights include an ‘Arts Car Boot Sale’ at Potters Gate School and the Secret Gardens Music Festival.
