The Mini Arts Festival is a celebration of creative communities, organised by 3 Minute Arts, a group interested in developing arts participation for all ages in the Esk Valley area and beyond. The group of performers and writers began running creative writing competitions in 2022, drawing in new writing from around the country. The winning dramas and short stories are performed locally on the Esk Valley Railway and at the Mini Arts Festival in Glaisdale.

 

This year's Mini Arts Festival will be held at the Robinson Institute, Glaisdale, on Saturday 22 June 2024 (see poster opposite and programme below).

​

If you didn’t make it last year, you can see photos and videos of some of the music, poetry and performances of the winning 3-minute dramas below.
