A Bit about the festival

The Steyning Festival is planning its 2024 programme of events, details of which will soon be available here. Our aim, as always, is to provide a wide programme of artistic and community events which offer exciting and stimulating experiences for the people of Steyning and the surrounding area.

Over the ten days of the festival, we will be offering a potpourri of entertaining and illuminating events ranging across the genres of Theatre, Music, Visual Arts, Walks and tours, the Environment, Literature, Community and Comedy.
