2021 PROGRAMME

FRIDAY 17TH – SUNDAY 19TH SEPTEMBER 2021

Kenilworth Arts is an annual, multi-genre festival, launched in 2016. The 2021 festival will take place over 4 days in September with events, workshops and exhibitions being held mostly outdoors around the historic town of Kenilworth, Warwickshire.

At the heart of our programming is a desire to celebrate and support high quality, original work within the contemporary arts. Kenilworth Arts Festival has historically brought together award-winning, internationally-acclaimed writers, musicians and visual artists from around the country (and beyond!) for one-off, intimate events in unique venues.

While 2021 offers a smaller outdoor festival we provide a platform for outstanding talent, while striving to offer new arts experiences to people of all ages. Our focus this year is very much on storytelling, sustainability and wellness.

We want to explore the stories that have unfolded over the last couple of years, through a multitude of arts experiences, with the specific aim of increasing participation and support of the arts.

We are very excited to bring you a festival this year and we can’t wait to share the programme with you.
