Holt Festival

HOLT FESTIVAL TAKES ON A NEW LOOK AND A NEW NAME

After much thought and many conversations we are delighted to be able to give you some exciting news. In broad strokes, Holt Festival will become Holt Art Projects and rather than a week or so of festivities in July, we will be offering you a series of individual, first class events throughout the year – music, theatre, visual art, comedy, dance and anything else we think you’ll enjoy. We are already planning our very special opening event which will take place just after Easter.

Holt Art Projects will launch this autumn with a new website and full details of what will be coming your way including the hugely successful art prizes and a new award, the Helen Herbert Portrait Prize in memory of the late Helen Herbert, a great champion of Holt Festival.

We do hope that you will continue to support us as we move ahead with our new venture and we look forward to welcoming you to Holt Art Projects’ 2026 programme.
