What an incredible first year! We'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who helped make the inaugural Weardale Plein Air Festival such an outstanding success.
 

To all the artists who took part, everyone who attended, our judges, sponsors, volunteers, venue partners, supporters, and the wonderful local community - thank you. Your enthusiasm, encouragement and generosity made the festival everything we hoped it would be and more.
 

We've been overwhelmed by the fantastic feedback we've received, and we're already putting plans into action to make 2027 even bigger, better and more exciting. We can't wait to share what's in store!
