The Grassington Festival of Music and Arts began in 1980. The now nationally renowned festival, which runs for a fortnight each June, provides an affordable opportunity for everyone to appreciate the arts in all forms, from classical to comedy.

Held in and around the Yorkshire Dales village, the Grassington Festival also runs a variety of workshops such as poetry classes, encouraging people to learn and improve their own skills, in addition to enjoying world class entertainment.
