Holmfirth Arts Festival - One of Yorkshire's Best Small Festivals
We ​envision an extraordinary creative future for the Holme Valley by producing life enhancing events, inspired by the landscape and presented in alternative spaces, for everyone to participate in and enjoy.
​
Nestled in the Holme Valley, surrounded by the glorious Pennine Hills of West Yorkshire, Holmfirth Arts Festival celebrates creativity in the landscape by:
-
Commissioning new work and supporting diverse artists
-
Inspiring all communities to engage with the arts and their heritage
-
Caring for the environment
-
Connecting locally, regionally and internationally
Our Values underpin how we work across all aspects of our organisation including programming and how we work with each other.
-
Nurturing CREATIVITY for all, across art forms
-
CELEBRATING people and place
-
CARING for each other and our environment
-
CONNECTING people to each other and to the places they live
The Festival has an extensive community engagement programme, with the main festival weekend in June and then a programme of events from July to September in rural venues and outdoor spaces across the Holme Valley.
​
Holmfirth Arts & Music Ltd was formed in 2007, becoming incorporated in March 2010. The company’s major project is the annual Holmfirth Arts Festival (HAF).
