Cookham Festival

The Cookham Festival is a Feast of the Arts held every other year in May.

The next Festival will be in May 2024. The very first Cookham Festival was held in 1967 and over the years the scope and attendance has grown so that it is now the largest community activity in Cookham as well as being one of the major arts events in the area. We attract more than 8500 people and we have a policy of making the ticket prices exceptional value and curating a range of events for all ages from bumps and babies to our community's oldest residents and all in between.

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.
