Rye Arts Festival

The Rye Arts Festival is strongly supported by the local community and visitors to the town and this year (13-29 Sept 2024) it celebrates its 53rd anniversary! A packed fortnight is planned with around 60 events, including literary talks, historical and nature walks, classical and contemporary music, drama and film.
The Festival is run by volunteers and has gained a reputation for bringing outstanding artistes, performers and musicians to the town from the UK, Europe and the rest of the world. Check out the website for updated news of the programme and details of when tickets go on sale.
