The Cookham Festival was established back in 1967 and is a celebration of the arts by the village, for the village. The three main areas are the spoken word, music and the visual arts and over 40 events take place over the festival fortnight.
The Festival is a celebration of the arts in its widest sense with events from poetry to pottery, Shakespeare to Strictly Cookham dancing classes and Bach to boogie. With the great depth of artistic endeavour in our local communities the Cookham Festival acts as a focal point for the expression of that talent. The festival is very much about celebrating that and providing a platform and organisation to promote it.
The Festival typically runs over 14/15 days and involves a mix of concerts (various scales from major 300-audience events to minor recitals for perhaps 30-40 people), performance (theatre, poetry, comedy), exhibitions (with a local angle), talks, art/craft workshops, children’s events and artist open studios.
