Medway Open Studios & Arts Festival

4th July - 19th July 2026

A free art trail with fascinating studios to visit.

Medway Open Studios and Arts Festival 2026 is set for  Saturday 4th July – Sunday 19th July, offering a free art trail with fascinating studios to visit.

Now heading into our 14th year, our open studios trail regularly attracts over 25 venues to visit, and work on show by over 200 artists, including painting, printmaking, jewellery, ceramics, photography, textiles, illustration and animation.

Each year, visitors are welcomed to explore the hidden creative work spaces and secret studios across Medway. Along the trail you can take part in art activities and events, view exhibitions, talk to the artists, buy art and crafts, and see first hand the array of artistic talent and opportunities in this impressively creative area of Kent.
