DAF - Didsbury Arts Festival Festival

DAF is a 10-day biennial arts festival and year-round programme of art activity, located in Didsbury, Manchester. The next festival takes place in June 2022, with year round online and community activity. We bring together creative talent from the local to International, challenging and embracing audiences with an inspiring festival programme of performance, music, exhibitions, talks and community events.

Our open submissions and engagement activity sit alongside our professional programme to enable local people to be part of the festival experience. This reflects our commitment to diversity and inclusion for artists, audiences and participants. Many thanks to our volunteers, funders, sponsors, donors, friends, local partners and ever expanding audience.
