Leeds: Horsforth Walk of Art

West Leeds residents are invited to celebrate the 10th year of the Horsforth Walk of Art – with lots of hands-on experiences, workshops, performances and storytelling and performances.

Horsforth Walk of Art, an annual celebration of creativity and community, proudly celebrates its 10th year in 2024 on 6th – 7th July from 11am to 4pm each day.

This milestone promises to be an unforgettable experience, bringing the festival back to its roots, featuring workshops, installations, sculptures, paintings and performances that reflect the spirit of Horsforth and, in many cases, nods to this year’s theme ‘Things that I’m going”. .

Festival highlights include:

• Community collaborations – Witness the power of what art can do to bring people together through collaborative projects involving schools, community groups, local artists and local businesses. From electrical boxes to knitted art installations to the award-nominated High street gallery project, which showcases the talents of local schools working with local artists.
• Workshops, activities and demonstrations – Learn new skills and techniques in art in all its forms. Do you want to attend an Abba singing workshop? Want to work with Burley Banksy? Do you want to learn knitting or watercolor? Want to draw manga or try 3D printing? Want to ask an artist a question? There will be something for everyone.
• Introducing the artists – Visit Horsforth artists to simply admire their work, ask questions or buy a piece or two.
• Music and film – Be inspired by the music of choirs on the Green, flutes in a church, bands in the park, rock in a pub or local music videos in a beer garden.

“This is a festival created and run by the Horsforth community. Every year is very different as more people come to share ideas and just make them come to life. We look forward to welcoming you to our event.”
