The 2023 Festival with the theme, Forces of Nature, was deeply inspired by our location in the Peak District National Park.  We invited the best local, national and international artists to respond to the environment, our unique landscape and its wonderful people, in all their diversity.
Events ran from May to October across the Holme Valley and our much-loved Festival Weekend takinf place in Holmfirth (17-18 June), with a day of live excellent community music and the spectacular Festival Parade on Saturday 17th, plus exciting live street theatre, installations and new commissions on Sunday 18th. The Festival ended with a wonderful lantern parade - Light up Honley
