Past Festivals
Dating back to 2024, the Nansledan Arts Festival has a new theme each year, where all sorts of related art and cultural activities are created by local children and adults alike. Trails, competitions, workshops and events all culminate in fun for everyone!

Flourish!

Our 2025 festival was all about celebrating our flourishing community here in Nansledan.
650 visits were made to the festival and we had a collection of 'firsts': first ever 'Over the Wall' Garden Trail; first ever Scarecrow Trail and competition; first ever young people's workshops including two with Nansledan School; and first ever Comedy Night - the Cornish Comedy Showcase - which sold out!
Otherwise, there was a growing range of adult art workshops, the craft fair, Raise the Roof music afternoon which raised £640 for Cornwall Mind and a final flourish! in the Festival Finale Stomp with Salt & Sky.
2024
Connections
Our very first festival was all about creating connections in our community: connecting at workshops, on the Art, Architecture and Biodiversity trails, at the Shiva music night and at the Craft Fair, talks and spoken word night in Nansledan School .........
