CommuniTree Festival 2026

CommuniTree Festival returns in 2026 for its third year, bringing creativity, culture and community to spaces across Nottingham.

Led by LW Arts CIC, CommuniTree Festival is a community arts festival rooted in connection, wellbeing and participation. We believe the arts should be accessible, welcoming and shaped by the communities they serve.

We are delighted to be supported by Arts Council England, with funding from The National Lottery, helping us grow the festival and continue creating opportunities for local artists, young creatives, families and communities.

For 2026, we are working with new and returning partners, including Bulwell Arts, Arkwright Community Gardens, Wollaton Hall and Deer Park, CommuniTree Arts Centre, City Arts and other community spaces across Nottingham.

This year’s programme will include live music, global rhythms, dance, theatre, visual arts, talks, creative workshops and family-friendly events. Audiences will be invited to watch, listen, take part, have a go and experience the joy of coming together through the arts.

CommuniTree Festival 2026 will also celebrate local talent, including emerging artists, young creatives, musicians and workshop leaders from Nottingham. Through performance, participation and creative exchange, the festival will create space for people of all ages and backgrounds to connect, express themselves and feel part of something shared.

More programme details, dates and artist announcements will be shared soon.
