The Festival of Europe is a cultural celebration spanning the diversity of the European continent. It is for all those for whom Europe is home. It is founded on shared cultures and values, inviting exchanges which transcend borders of every kind. Our vision is one of unity, cooperation and friendship now and in the future.
The Festival of Europe’s inaugural summer festivities take place throughout the UK from the end of April until the end of September 2022.
We’d love to stay in touch.

One of the last year’s highlights was the opportunity to enjoy a series of performances by the United Strings of Europe , including a new composition entitled Freedom & Movement – created by Howard Goodall for the Festival of Europe – and new works by young composers.
Other events across the country included musical concerts, talks, walks, workshops, poetry, theatre, exhibitions, food, music, dance and more….. See our Summer of Europe page for more information.
