2023 Langford Arts Festival

About the 2023 Langford Arts Festival

With a record 65 artists set to be onboard, the 2023 Langford Arts Festival will feature works from amateurs and professionals ranging from watercolour, acrylic and oil paintings, prints and photography to sculpture, glass and pottery.

There will be something to suit any budget at the festival, which takes place every two years – from works by sought-after artists for collectors through to pieces for people who just want to find something special for their homes.

To reflect its increased scale and scope, this year’s festival is taking place in five key locations in Langford, including St Matthew’s Church in Langford, which dates back to the 11th Century and is the atmospheric setting where the bulk of the artists’ work will be displayed and sold. 

Visitors are encouraged to see the art on show at the other locations in the village, like the new sculpture garden, and experience all that is on offer in Langford. And if you want to watch and try as well as buy, there will be plenty of live art-based activities taking place in Langford during the festival. 

Langford regularly attracts visitors from across the UK and abroad. It has a buoyant art-buying community on its doorstep, so expect the two-day festival and pre-event private view to be well attended. 

And with light lunches and afternoon teas served in the Arts Cafe in the village hall and The Pitstop serving breakfast butties at the free car park, Langford Arts Festival will provide the perfect day out for families and serious art enthusiasts.

The event is the idea of Ginny Bushell, who lives in Langford and is herself a keen amateur artist. It is run by a special committee and overseen by Langford’s Village Hall committee.

Entry to the 2023 Langford Arts Festival is free, but there is an optional catalogue for £2.00 each.
