Upcoming events

We feel the staging of a live festival this year would not be the right thing to do, as such all Aerial live events in 2020 will no longer be going ahead.

Instead we will be presenting an exciting and diverse array of brand new commissions, all available on our website for free.

Rethink the countryside.

An international rural film festival postponed until 2021, join us next year to celebrate the best of rural films.

Past events

A free, collaborative, online workshop designed for young people aged 17 to 35 years old, who live and/or work in the Lakes and Dales and will support the creative, business and cultural sectors to shape the post-COVID world.
