Wintertide Festival will once again be burning brightly on Hartlepool’s Headland 24-26 November with a packed programme of art, music and performances along with workshops and an independent maker’s market.
One of the only grassroots residential festivals in the Tees Valley, Wintertide hosts an artistic programme that reflects and celebrates Hartlepool, its people, places, passions, heritage and folklore.
Wintertide’s aim is to bring the historic streets of the Headland to life. This year, under the theme Ignite, highlights include an incredible giant Build and Burn willow structure by internationally renowned artist Alex Rigg; the Day and Night Art Trail which includes a range of illuminated artworks including two on loan from Durham’s Lumiere; a huge independent Maker’s Market; the illumination of St Hilda’s Church; the much loved Community Lantern Parade and a packed music programme including a headline gig at St Hilda’s Church featuring The Lake Poets.
