Supporting St Ives September Festival 2025

We are delighted to be able to sponsor the St Ives September Festival 2025. It's our third year as a title sponsor, and a festival we love being a part of. 

A longstanding event

The St Ives September Festival has been a key event in the town’s cultural calendar since 1978, when it was first created to extend the tourism season and support the local art scene. What started as a grassroots initiative by locals and artists has grown into a two-week celebration that attracts thousands of visitors, both locally, nationally and internationally.

The origins of the two-week event are stooped in the town's artistic heritage, a place where Barbara Hepworth, Ben Nicholson and many more forged creative careers. We love supporting this event, as it continues to put the creative culture of the town on the map.

What’s It All About?

Spanning two weeks every September, the festival showcases an eclectic mix of live music, theatre, poetry, art exhibitions, film screenings, talks, workshops, and open studios. It’s a rare and wonderful time when the entire town becomes a venue, from bigger venues like the Guildhall to smaller pubs, studios and more.

Whether you’re drawn by the sound of folk guitar drifting from a hidden courtyard, intrigued by a modern art installation, or looking to explore the inner world of a local painter’s studio, there’s something for everyone.

What's happening this year?

You can check out all the event details over on the September Festival website, but there will be more to be announced over the summer months.
