Welcome to the Mole Valley Arts Alive Festival.

Mole Valley Arts Alive is one of the biggest community arts festivals in Surrey, comprising around 100 local arts events taking place throughout October each year. Last year we had over 14,000 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!

Arts Alive runs each October, and 2024 saw a record number of events.  We hope you enjoyed them – see you in 2025, when the festival will run from 1-31 October.

 

Something for everyone…

Mole Valley Arts Alive is an inclusive festival – that is, open to all.  We aim to be accessible and participants remark on the welcoming nature of our events.
