Cambridge locals and visitors are in for a treat as this four-day community arts festival returns to St Paul’s Church on Hills Road from 18 to 21 September. All are invited to enjoy the music, drama, poetry, visual arts and more. Speakers and performers include Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury; renowned artist Issam Kourbaj; and poet and novelist Helen Mort (pictured). Alongside the performances and talks, there are plenty of opportunities for everyone of all ages to unleash their imaginations in professionally led workshops, which include creative writing and figure drawing. On the evening of 19 September, Olivier Award-winning director Guy Masterson- Mastroianni joins forces with writer-performer Justin Butcher to stage an unforgettable performance of Scaramouche Jones . Another big name, jazz composer and musician Tim Boniface, and his quartet, will perform his latest work Psalter: Themes for Peace on 20 September. This festival is dedicated to Kip Gresham, the Cambridge-based master printmaker, gifted artist and founder of the St Paul’s Artsfest in 2016, who died in May 2024. His works can be viewed in one of the exhibitions that will run throughout the festival. View the full line-up and book tickets at stpaulsartsfest.org Announcing Artsfest
