It is with heavy hearts that we have to announce the cancellation of Basingstoke Festival this year. This decision hasn’t been taken lightly and we have tried our hardest to make it work, but it was unavoidable given the current circumstances. The safety of our audience, artists, venues, communities, partners and volunteers is paramount and we appreciate your patience whilst we’ve been working through this unprecedented situation.

But this won’t stop us bringing art in unusual places to Basingstoke as soon as the situation has improved, even if the Basingstoke Festival isn’t officially on! Follow us on social media for the latest updates.

In the meantime, while we all try and stay well at home, we are continuing to promote all online and virtual arts events, classes and performances via social media so if you have something you’d like us to share, let us know.

Stay safe and keep in touch
