Welcome…
2022 saw the birth of the first festival of its kind locally, with over 30 participating venues and 70+ events over 10 days featuring music, visual arts, dance, circus, theatre and more!
A big THANK YOU to everyone involved, whether you performed, hosted, produced, participated, laughed, sang, danced or just generally observed the chaos – you made it!
It was fantastic to see the community come together and celebrate the one of a kind that is Totnes and all the arts and culture it has to offer.
Now the team are working towards the 2024 edition! If you would liked to get involved please get in touch: info@totnesfestival.co.uk
