Silverdale & Arnside Arts Festival

Silverdale, Arnside and Storth will once again host a trail of Open Studios and Collective Exhibitions as the Silverdale & Arnside Arts Festival returns on the weekend of 27-28 June 2026.

This popular event, a reinvention of the long-established Silverdale & Arnside Arts Trail, will showcase a varied and multi-disciplined collection of work from over 70 local artists and makers, from commercial artists to local groups and organisations.

The Arts Festival is a celebration of local creative talent and guarantees a showcase of original, one-off pieces. Meet the artists and makers, learn their creative processes and have the opportunity to purchase unique, handcrafted work directly from them. Come along and soak up the atmosphere, listen to live music and meet people.

This year’s event will be a trail of 20 locations held in a mixture of local venues and artists’ studios, a map of which will be available on the website.

Expect to see paintings, prints, ceramics, textiles, photography, stained glass, collage, mixed media, digital art, leatherwork, jewellery and more.
