In light of recent events we wanted to thank our supporters and audiences and state that we are still planning to go ahead with Canterbury Festival 2020 this October. The health of our staff, artists, volunteers and audiences is paramount and we will monitor the situation over the spring and summer, responding to events as they happen. Our annual fundraising and learning and participation projects will inevitably be affected over the coming months; more information will be made available as the situation unfolds.  

Every membership and donation over the coming months will play a crucial role in securing the future of the Festival – if you can, please do consider showing your support.

The arts play a huge role in society – developing talent, bringing people together over shared passions, building bridges and telling important stories. Now more than ever, we need to work together and support our communities.
