2017 will be a year to remember as it marks an important turning point for the festival.

It is the inaugral year for the ‘Lancaster Chinese New Year Arts Festival’ formerly known as the ‘Lancaster Chinese New Year Festival’. It reflects the new direction we’re taking in showcasing contemporary and heritage arts side by side and supporting creativity and new work in Lancaster through our Artist Residency programme.

The Chinese New Year Carnival remains one of the highlights of the programme for the 5th year running – once again bringing the city streets to life with sound, music and colour.

We look forward to seeing you at one of the upcoming events, but also help shape future festivals by telling us what you think on our Facebook, Twitter and website.
