Devizes Carnival

Festivals in Wiltshire

If you love nothing better than a festival then there is plenty of choice on offer for you here in Wiltshire! Soak up our culture and enjoy our timeless pleasures.

Festival highlights include big names in music, theatre and dance or more intimate events. Read on to discover more.

Music festivals to enjoy

There are several music festivals that take place here in Wiltshire including the world-renowned WOMAD Festival and the End of the Road Festival, held in the beautiful Larmer Tree gardens.

The small village of Edington, near Westbury, comes alive in late August with the arrival of the Edington Music Festival, focusing on choral music. 

Cultural festivals

One of the most prestigious cultural festivals in Wiltshire is the Salisbury International Arts Festival, with it talks, street entertainment, theatre, dance and music events at venues across Salisbury and south Wiltshire.

The towns of Malmesbury and Devizes are brought to life with an array of events as part of their annual festivals and carnivals including the spectacular Devizes Confetti Battle!
 
During the second Bank Holiday weekend in May, Chippenham sees the arrival of the annual Folk Festival bringing four days of English traditional folk song, music and dance. A festival that’s popular with all ages!

History festivals

Taking place just south of Salisbury, in the beautiful Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is the Chalke Valley History Festival. Not only will you be able to enjoy talks by famous historians and broadcasters but you can enjoy re-enactments, air shows and discussions and debates. 

Get to know more about our local history with The Salisbury Museum’s annual Festival of Archaeology (usually in July) or at the Swindon Railway Festival at STEAM Museum (September). 

Literature Festivals

Celebrate all things literary with one of our Literature Festivals. Annual festivals include Swindon Spring Festival – of literature and the arts (May) and Mere (October). Programmes often include talks, workshops and readings. 

Walking Festivals

Bradford on Avon and Corsham both run annual walking festivals where visitors and locals can book onto walks of a variety of lengths and taking in different places in the local area. Look out for themed walks such as ghost walks, foraging or simply explore parts of Wiltshire that you didn’t know before.
