2025 BLOOMSBURY FESTIVAL

The programme is now live for our 2025 Festival weekend, which runs from Friday 17 – Sunday 19 October. Browse the event listings here, or view our brochure as an online flip book.

With a busy weekend of music, performance, exhibitions walks, talks and family events – many of which are FREE – we hope you will find plenty to interest you.

Our theme, The Paths We Tread, was inspired by our heritage research and stories about the history of our local streets and places, which has linked us to characters of the past. This has provided a very broad range of interpretations for the wider programme where artists are following their own personal and cultural ‘paths’ and creative exploration.
