Festival information

  • The Swaledale Festival has a history of over 40 years bringing music and other arts to Swaledale, Wensleydale and Arkengarthdale.
  • Approximately 50% of Festival audiences come to the area on holiday from all over the UK and other parts of the world, in many cases especially for the Festival.
  • The Swaledale Festival also has a highly regarded programme of education and community events. In 2014 it was awarded the Prime Minister’s ‘Big Society Award' for its work with local schools on a music and art project over the autumn/winter of 2013-14

The New Banners

Our new banners have arrived

The New Banners
This year's banners with their new branding have arrived and will be appearing in prominent places around the Festival area soon. The new colour scheme looks really good and we hope that they will attract the attention of those who are visiting the area and don't otherwise know about the Festival, and those who do know but hadn't yet realised just how close it is to Festival time. (If they haven't got around to booking yet, they may be disappointed that several events have sold out)

These banners also carry the logos of the generous businesses that have sponsored the Festival with significant donations and will also have at least one event in their name. There are also lots of other local businesses spread across the Dales that are part of our Local Business Supporter Scheme. They can be seen here and via a link from our Home Page. The LBSS works on the principle of them supporting us and us supporting them so if you get the opportunity, please support them - and, of course, our major sponsors.
