The 2025 Swaledale Festival ran from Saturday 24 May to Saturday 7 June, with 60+ music, arts and walking events to inspire, transport and exhilarate in the spectacular northern Yorkshire Dales. Read all about it here.

The Festival may be over for this year, but it will return from 23 May to 6 June 2026 with another outstanding offering of music, arts and walking in the northern Yorkshire Dales. Check back in!

The film was made by Howell Media and features music from a track called Bling Bling from the album Plum Lane by The Matt Wates Sextet. The piece was written and arranged by Matt Wates.
