A free week-long celebration of art, music, creativity and community across Leyton. Everyone's welcome.

From the 5th to the 13th September, Leyton Arts Festival transforms our neighbourhood into a vibrant celebration of creativity and community.

Discover exhibitions, live music, film screenings, creative workshops, family activities, talks, open studios and more, all taking place across multiple venues in Leyton.

Whether you're a practising artist, someone who hasn't picked up a paintbrush in years or you're simply curious to try something new, Leyton Arts Festival is for you.

Our mission is to make creativity accessible to everyone. We believe art shouldn't feel intimidating or exclusive, it should be something everyone can experience, enjoy and take part in.

Free to attend

Every event in the festival is completely free because we believe everyone should have the opportunity to experience the arts, regardless of income.

If you'd like to support the festival, you can make an optional donation when booking your free ticket. Every contribution goes directly towards paying the artists, performers and creatives who make the festival possible.

When you book, you'll also have the option to join the LeytonMidland Collective mailing list to hear about future festivals, events and opportunities. This is completely optional, and you can unsubscribe at any time.

We can't wait to welcome you to Leyton Arts Festival 2026. Come and discover the creativity on your doorstep.
