NEW for 2025!! Our Cultural Programme
The Castle and Library Cultural Programme
Welcome to the launch of a new and exciting annual programme of events that showcase diversity and culture at it’s best!
Divided into seasonal programmes, The Castle and Library Cultural Programme will be offering opportunities to immerse yourself into unknown worlds, rich culture, entertaining performances, lyrical melodies and pick up some skills along the way.
We kick off our Spring 2025 programme in April with author talks, performing arts, entertainment events, live music, creative and literary workshops, along with fascinating talks by some well-known visitors. Most of these events are ticketed, so be sure to book your tickets early to secure your space. with many visiting authors, artists, musicians and actors. Each event will be aimed at a variety of audiences and based at The Castle and Library sites, along with a plethora of supporting events provided by our external partners. Tickets will be available online from 6th January 2025 and all details can be found on our website: https://www.thecastlebude.co.uk/events-at-the-castle-bude/
This does mean of course that our beloved Literary Festival will no longer be under our programming, but Bude Literary Festival will be continuing in a new guise and will be part of our own Cultural Programme in May 2025. The great news of course is that our partner, Richard Wolfenden-Brown of North Coast Arts, whom we have worked closely with since the start, in 2021, has teamed up with a small group of organisers who are able to continue the festival going forward. Richard and his team will be announcing news of the switch in leadership in the coming months, so look out for his posts on his North Coast Arts page and website. He can also be contacted on info@northcoastarts.co.uk
