“ART FOR EVERYONE, ON THE ESTUARY”
Portishead Arts Festival is delighted to announce that we’re back for a second year, with a brand new name: ARTPORT (because we know our official moniker is a bit of a mouthful).
This year we have a packed programme of artists and makers, workshops and demonstrations, musical performances, dance events, art trails, film and more - right here in the heart of our amazing estuary location.
​Soon you will be able to check in here to book tickets, register for events, find out what’s on and much more.

Stay in touch to find out what we have planned for this year, book tickets as they’re released, and visit our showcase of participating artists and performers.

About Us
The brainchild of local resident Nicola Holland, Portishead Arts Festival is now in its second year. Nicola moved to Portishead from Bristol four years ago and was immediately smitten by Portishead’s unique combination of location, history and thriving contemporary arts community.
​ “I had lived in Bristol for more than a decade and yet knew almost nothing about our close neighbour, Portishead! When I settled my young family here, I knew we had found our forever home - so much so that I became a Portishead councillor.
Portishead is definitely a town on the up and I wanted to raise its profile. We have an amazing location and a thriving resident artistic community in Somerset - an inclusive, community arts festival was an obvious choice to help us share our wonderful area with more people.”
