What is the Walk of Art?
The Horsforth Walk of Art is a free, community led, diverse and inclusive, creative festival that engages the entire community.
We aim to showcase creativity by local and almost local artists and performers in everyday and unusual spaces. It engages and inspires the community to have a go at art in all its forms.
In previous years we have seen upwards of 100 artists displaying and performing numerous art forms in over 80 venues around the popular Leeds suburb. High street shops, churches, woodlands, the park, garages, houses, sheds and caravans. There are no spaces we wouldn’t consider.
WHEN
WHEN will the Walk of Art 2026 happen?
The Walk of Art 2026 will take place on Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th of July.
The 2024 Walk of Art took place across the weekend of the 6th and 7th July from 11am to 4pm each day.
We saw the return of many favourite artists, venues and events such as the High Street Galleries for which the volunteers were shortlisted for a Child Friendly Leeds Award for their work within all the local schools.
WHAT
WHAT is the theme for the 2026 Walk of Art?
Each year we provide a theme so artists, residents, businesses and venues can immerse themselves in the spirit of the festival. This is completely optional but has proved very popular in the past.
The theme for 2026 is…
“BACK TO MY ROUTES”
