Bywell Arts Festival

Friday 27 – Sunday 29 June 2025

After a five-year “COVID break” the festival is back, and St Peter’s Church links up with neighbouring St Andrew’s
Church, which is in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust, to provide the stunning venues for this popular annual exhibition displaying more than 200 original paintings by around 50 artists. All the art is for sale, with a wide range of prices, but whether you are interested in buying or just want to have a look around and soak up the atmosphere, you are equally welcome to come and enjoy the exhibition.

Friday 27 June 7-9pm: Enjoy a glass of wine and be among the first to view the exhibition.
Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 June 11am-5pm: Enjoy the art exhibition, and indulge in some excellent refreshments, including delicious cream teas, and a Pimms Bar(open from 2pm) also selling wine, beer and non-alcoholic drinks.

As well as the art, you will find cakes, plants and book stalls, and don’t forget to buy a ticket for the raffle, which has some fabulous prizes. There is ample free parking and toilet facilities close to the churches.

If you are purchasing art you will be able to pay by card, however we welcome cash for smaller purchases.
