TV stars, musicians and more will visit a Wiltshire town for this year’s arts festival.
The Devizes Arts Festival will return in 2026 for its 40th anniversary, from May 29 to June 14.
The festival has grown into a much-loved celebration of music, theatre, talks, poetry and the arts in the heart of Devizes.
This year’s headliners include Patrick Grant of The Great British Sewing Bee, Mock the Week’s Milton Jones, Scummy Mummies, folk singer Robert Vincent, and bestselling author Anthony Horowitz.
Friends of the festival can buy tickets for the most popular events from February 25 and everyone else can buy them from March 11.
For all other events, the early-bird window opens on March 30, with general release from April 20.
