St Ives September Festival 2026

St Ives September Festival – Two Weeks of Music, Arts & Culture

September is always a special time to visit St Ives, and the St Ives September Festival gives you even more reasons to be here.

For two weeks, the town comes alive with live music, exhibitions, talks, walks, workshops, performances and events, with venues across St Ives joining together for a packed celebration of music and the arts.

Whether you’re planning your visit around the Festival or simply happen to be staying in St Ives while it’s on, there’s plenty to discover. From intimate gigs and performances to exhibitions, creative events and opportunities to explore the town and its rich artistic heritage, the programme offers something different every day.

And, of course, St Ives itself provides a pretty spectacular backdrop. Enjoy an event, wander through the cobbled streets, discover independent shops and galleries, stop for something to eat or drink and soak up the atmosphere of St Ives in September.
