Salisbury International Arts Festival to return after two year hiatus
It will be back next year
After the event has been cancelled for the previous two years, the Salisbury International Arts Festival will return in 2022.
Wiltshire Creative say they are "delighted" to bring the event back with a brand new theme.
The performances and work on display will be inspired by the drama and dangers surrounding islands and remote locations.
The event takes place for three weeks and will have a number of performances including circus arts, music, comedy, dance, and a variety of free family events across May half term.
Lucy Babb, Festival Producer, said:
“After a two-year hiatus we can’t wait to bring together communities to share in the wonder of the arts once again. 2022 will see the return of the Salisbury International Arts Festival back to the venues, churches, countryside and streets of Wiltshire.”
It will run from 27th May – 19th June 2022.
Gareth Machin, Artistic Director of Wiltshire Creative, said:
“I am delighted to be bringing Salisbury International Arts Festival back to Wiltshire with a spectacular programme of events in 2022. Fascination, fear and love of islands has long fired our collective imagination. After 300 years we are still reading Robinson Crusoe and, after 75 years and over 2,000 episodes, Desert Island Discs is still going strong. However, our interest in islands runs much deeper than their dramatic potential. In our highly connected world, we are increasingly craving the isolation and tranquillity that islands can offer. Even with modern amenities, islands consistently draw us in as holiday locations and meccas of fun and leisure.”
Tickets for Salisbury International Arts Festival will be on sale from 1st March 2022.
