Thank you for the music!

So, that’s all folks. We’ve had a wonderful Between the Tides, Walton Arts Festival weekend, but the sand art has been washed away, and Nazey has gone back to her secret backwaters. 

A MASSIVE thank you to everyone who came along to join, perform, sing, make art, and have fun!

Thank you to our brilliant local musicians, artists, storytellers, and photographers who bring colour and life to the town. 

Thank you to our festival team who have given their time and energy to make the festival happen. A list of those who have been involved is on our website. https://www.waltonartsfestival.com/team.
