ELY ARTS FESTIVAL
June 14-28
The Ely Arts Festival is an annual event, which aims to provide a fun, creative and diverse programme of cultural events and activities in Ely and the surrounding villages.
It comprises four weeks of performances, concerts, plays and events. For full details go to https://www.elyartsfestival.org/.
Saturday June 14 at 11.00am at Palace Green
The festival kicks off with a large scale fanfare – the multi-ability ‘Etheldreda’s Fanfare’ has been commissioned for this special occasion, composed by David Sims.
The fanfare will last for no more than 2 minutes (at most). The performance will be conducted by Chris Parsons, Artistic Director of the Ely Arts Festival and Head of Performance Music at King’s Ely Prep School and promises to be an exciting event to open the festival.
Do you play a brass instrument? No matter your grade, age or length of time playing, everyone is welcome to play! We are hoping to welcome over 100 brass players for this exciting event – see our website https://www.elyartsfestival.org/whats-on-2025/fanfare-2025 for details of how to join in!
Saturday June 21 at 11.00am at Jubilee Gardens
Festival Family Fun Day
Look out for some of the local and international acts on the bandstand; The Foolhardy Circus will be back to entertain and our friends at Blended Monkey have assembled a whole Crafts Village of talented artists and crafters.
But that’s not all! There will be children’s activities, face painting, food stalls, beer from Three Blind Mice brewery and much more!
