Start your summer with Basingstoke’s award-winning free annual celebration of art, culture, heritage, community and outdoor arts. Join Basingstoke Festival over three weekends from Friday 20 June to Sunday 6 July as they fill the streets with creativity and energy. Performances will pop-up in Basingstoke town centre and other locations across the borough and will be free to watch.

Immerse yourself in the magic of live performances, whether you want to pack up a picnic and enjoy a whole day of entertainment or pop by for a performance or two, join the team to discover new artists and celebrate the creative spirit of Basingstoke.

The opening parade will set the scene of this year’s festival with a green, sustainability and inclusivity theme. Pop by an ‘eco-zone’, alongside a programme of new acts and some familiar Festival favourites who will explore environmental and nature themes in their shows. Expect performances ‘blooming’ with fun, energy and the weird, the wacky and the wonderful.

Basingstoke Festival brings together the best of Basingstoke’s local talent alongside national artists who have performed across the globe. Whether you're seeking inspiration, entertainment, or simply a captivating experience, Basingstoke Festival promises something for the most inquisitive minds with large scale installations, street theatre, circus, dance and other activities to take part in.

Get ready for an unforgettable experience. Can’t wait? Neither can we! Keep an eye on the Basingstoke Festival social channels and www.BasingstokeFestival.co.uk for programme announcements.
