Start your summer with three unforgettable weekends of free street performances for all the family at this year’s award-winning Basingstoke Festival from Friday 19 June to Sunday 5 July.
We’re celebrating 15 years of creativity, culture and shared experiences and you’re invited to be part of it! Everyone is welcome to enjoy free performances in Basingstoke town centre on festival Saturdays, with exciting shows popping up across the borough on festival Sundays.
Get ready for an extraordinary experience at Basingstoke’s free outdoor arts festival. There will be laugher, surprises, thrills and spills as street theatre, circus, music, storytelling and dance performances turn everyday spaces into stages.
This year’s Basingstoke Festival programme will bring together national artists who have performed across the globe and the best of local talent and kicks off the launch weekend with a colourful opening parade on Friday 19 June.
Get the dates in your diary for three weekends of festival fun. Stay for an hour or stay all day, whether you want to pack a picnic and enjoy a whole day of free entertainment or simply follow the sounds, colour and creativity and stop by for a performance or two – join us as we come together to celebrate the creative spirit of Basingstoke.
Can’t wait? Neither can we! Keep an eye on the Basingstoke Festival social channels and www.BasingstokeFestival.co.uk for programme announcements coming very soon…
