Every summer Grassington plays host to some of the best performers in the music and arts world with an enormous number of diverse performances and events taking place during the last fortnight in June.

In midsummer you may wonder whether  there is anywhere more wonderful to be than Grassington, nestled amidst this beautiful Yorkshire dales landscape. 15 fabulous days and nights of Festival; exuberant and exciting; inspiring and challenging; passionate and provoking; spiritual and uplifting - and most of all, fun!

Over 70 events crammed into a concentrated celebration of the finest music and arts, where else would you find the opportunity to experience internationally acclaimed artists performing in intimate venues, have so many chances to get 'hands on' in such a plethora of workshops, or find music and street theatre drawn from all across the globe performing in a pretty village square? There's the quirky and unusual too - The Dawn Chorus Walk and Concert, The Big Day of Dance and even a Sandcastle building Masterclass! Famous faces, hidden gems and rising stars will come together to bring the world to Wharfedale and so organisers urge you to try something new and come to as much as you can, you don't want to miss out on something really special.
