KENILWORTH
ARTS FESTIVAL

CREATE, COLLABORATE, CONNECT.

Kenilworth Arts is an annual, multi-genre festival, launched in 2016. The festival takes place over 10 days in September with events, workshops and exhibitions being held in different venues around the historic town of Kenilworth, Warwickshire.

At the heart of our programming is a desire to celebrate outstanding, original new work within the contemporary arts.

Every year we bring together award-winning, internationally-acclaimed writers, musicians and visual artists from around the country (and beyond) for one-off events, transforming everyday spaces into magical venues and providing unique live experiences for audiences.

WE CELEBRATE
high quality, original work within the contemporary arts.
WE PROVIDE
a platform for ideas and stories which offer new ways of seeing the world around us.
WE SUPPORT
emerging artists.
WE OFFER
new and extraordinary arts experiences to people of all ages.

Kenilworth Arts Festival has moved from an annual

Kenilworth Arts Festival has moved from an annual festival to bringing you arts events throughout the year.

We are now offering a series of Kenilworth Arts Festival Supports events, where we collaborate and support local events and artists to deliver a wide range of Music, Theatre, Literature and Workshops to Kenilworth.

This is just the beginning, a range of wonderful music events organised in collaboration with @treehousebookshop and @elliegowersmusic.

Tickets are available for all events now and they are selling fast!

We are proud to be supporting the next live music event @treehousebookshop with @sarahmcquaidmusic

“One of the most instantly recognisable voices in current music … Shades of Joni Mitchell in a jam with Karen Carpenter and Lana Del Rey.” —Trust The Doc

Sarah McQuaid’s lush, chocolatey voice combines with her engaging personality, “subtle mastery onstage” (Huffington Post) and “brilliant musicianship” (fRoots) on acoustic and electric guitars, piano and (occasionally) drum to create a truly immersive experience.

Born in Spain, raised in Chicago, holding dual Irish and American citizenship and now settled in rural England, she brings the eclecticism of her background to her “captivating, unorthodox songwriting” (PopMatters) and choice of material, spanning genres and defying categorisation.

All this is abundantly demonstrated by her new live album and video series The St Buryan Sessions — but needs to be savoured in person to be fully appreciated.

We are delighted to welcome Sarah back to the Tree House.

BYOB.
Doors open 7pm, gig starts at 7.30pm. There will be one interval of 15-20 minutes.

Introducing Kenilworth Creates, bringing together

Introducing Kenilworth Creates, bringing together local artists and the community to enhance our spaces and encourage creativity. The first project 2022 is an extension of the Talisman Project (which has brought about significant improvements, including planting, artwork and additional benches in the square).
We are inviting local artists, schools and community groups to submit proposals to create their own 'Beautuful Bench' in Kenilworth. The aim is to create functional pieces of art that become a destination and in the longer part of a culture trail around Kenilworth.
.
With thanks to @kenilworthbooks for their part in this campaign.
And to @anafrantzphototography capturing benches of Kenilworth.

Did you catch @story_dad from @owletpress last week? Sam was outside the wonderful @kenilworthbooks with his new book Storm in a Jar. Prior to the festival Sam was featured on the @thestuffofstories podcast recorded on the lovely Parklet van in Talisman Square itself. In this episode he talks about his journey as a storyteller, publisher and Dad and what inspired him to write Storm in a Jar.

We've done it! With the help of Greenstage UK, we've built our very own eco-stage in Talisman Square, which will be set up throughout the Festival weekend. As part of our passion for environmental issues, which is woven throughout our programming this year, we are reducing the use of plastic in all areas of the Festival and ensuring recycling and upcycling and reuse as much as possible. Our eco-stage will also be available for use in the Kenilworth community in the future.

We can’t wait to see you tonight and this weekend! Please note that our licence is only for alcohol purchased on site and no outside alcohol will be permitted on the Festival grounds.
