The 2020 festival was cancelled due to the Covid outbreak, but we are returning in October 2021. We’d like to thank all of the performers who participated in 2019, and we’d also like to thank all of the people who came out and supported live theatre and gave us such nice feedback on the performances they saw.
We are currently putting together a list of performers for next year and will let you know as soon as we can about the artists involved. If you’d like to be involved, please get in touch. Follow Wells Theatre Festival on Twitter and Facebook to get news of tickets and events for 2021. Wells Theatre Festival is proud to support Anthony Nolan.
