Luton Arts Festival, sponsored by the University of Bedfordshire and formerly known as B:Fest, returns for another year of music, dance, theatre and art.

Now in its third year, the festival showcases work from University students, local artists and performers across Luton’s art venues, pubs and clubs.

The events will take place over a five-day period from Thursday, 29 April to Monday, 3 May. The focal points for the festival will be two outdoor stages, one in The Mall’s Market Hall and one on St George’s Square. To support the community ethos of the festival all events are free.

The popular festival will include three, full days of live music including a day of jazz and rockabilly acts, a comedy stage, tea dance, live life drawing classes, fashion shows and a large Ceilidh (Gaelic social dance event).

Festival Director Jess Mason-Wilkes said: “We are really excited about putting on the festival again this year. We really hope that the programme will provide five fantastic days of entertainment for the people of Luton while also showcasing the brilliant artistic talent that is on offer in this town.”
