Throughout the festival

Blooming Marvellous Exhibition

Artists, printers, illustrators and makers of contemporary craft from all over the country exhibit high quality work relating to botanicals and blooms.

Grassington Town Hall, 11am to 4pm (Exhibition closed on Tuesday, June 21, due to performances).

The Old Curiosity Shed

Planted in the centre of the village is The Old Curiosity Shed. Where did it come from? Why is it there? What does it do? Who knows what will be happening? Check it out every day – because you just never know what it might do next!

Wheelbarrow Art Trail

Unusual looking wheelbarrows will be sprouting up around the village as the public are invited to create their own wheelbarrow of wonder as a part of an art trail. Prizes go to the most inventive and outrageous.

The submissions will be judged by award winning garden designer Chris Beardshaw. A trail guide is available from Grassington Festival Box Office.

House of Slugs and Snails

No 22 Main Street will be the venue of a new reserve for unwanted garden beasts and extraordinary munchers. This is a unique opportunity to see these larger than life characters and all the beasties will be put up for adoption at the end of the festival!
