Reflections – 10 Parishes Festival 2023

Welcome to the 10 Parishes Festival
6 – 14 September 2025

Celebrate a feast of arts and crafts within the 10 Parishes.

Visit exhibitions, take part yourself! 

The 10 Parishes Festival runs every second year to offer you, a rich variety of art throughout the 10 Parishes area (Wiveliscombe and its surrounding parishes). 2025 will see the return of the festival since 2023 and we are excited to be welcoming back many talented artists and showcasing the work of new talent as well.  All types of artistic disciplines will be represented, from painting and textiles, photography, jewellery, ceramics, sculpture, music, installation and carving – this festival has it all.  This year the festival theme is “Trees of Hope”, a way of appreciating the connection between art and nature. As well as art exhibitions and open studios there is a wide range of events including music concerts, talks, dinner and workshops.  

Street Market for Sunday, September 14 has now been cancelled due to bad weather forecast.  The 10 Parishes Festival will continue to run through Sunday, subject to the discretion of artists.
