Mole Valley Arts Alive

Welcome to the Mole Valley Arts Alive Festival.

Arts Alive runs each October, and 2024 saw a record number of events.  We hope you enjoyed them – see you in 2025.

Something for everyone…

Mole Valley Arts Alive is one of the biggest community arts festivals in Surrey, comprising around 80 local events taking place throughout October each year. Last year we had over 13,000 participants.

We have shows, exhibitions and workshops in the fields of music, theatre, author events, children’s dance, creative writing, film, painting, poetry, street art and crafting. We’re open to all ages and abilities. Take a look at our listings, and come join in!

Live and online events

Events all happen either in or around the Mole Valley towns of Ashtead, Dorking, Leatherhead and Bookham, or online.

Events have included painting and printmaking workshops, standup comedy, Shakespeare, Sculpture Garden walks, and children’s theatre. What’s not to like?
