Celebrating 40 Years – Full Programme On Sale Now

29th May – 14th June

Forty years of the Devizes Arts Festival. This year we’ve put together our largest programme ever – over 30 events across May and June – and we want the whole town to join in.

Selected highlights from across the programme:- Fashion designer Patrick Grant brings his Savile Row stories and strong views on fast fashion to the Assembly Room. Sacha Dench, the “Human Swan,” shares her extraordinary 7,000km paramotor journey following endangered swans from Arctic Russia. Author Charlotte Philby talks about growing up as the granddaughter of Britain’s most famous spy. Milton Jones delivers his trademark surreal one-liners and relentless wordplay. Professor Dave Goulson explains what we can all do to help save our bees and insects. British award-winner song-writer Robert Vincent performs with his full band, and Celtic punk outfit Man the Lifeboats bring high-energy chaos to the Corn Exchange.

Music, comedy, talks, nature walks, and hands-on workshops. From classical piano to indie rock, memoir writing to phone photography, there’s something here for everyone. Book your tickets now and be part of our biggest year yet.
