Hello and welcome

Welcome to ArtPort - home of Portishead Arts Festival.

2022 is only our second year - but look how far we’ve come in just 12 months!

We are twice as big as last year, offering more wonderful opportunities to see, hear and take part in fun, enriching, creative and community experiences right here in our fabulous town, on the edge of the old Severn Sea.

We hope you will join us!

How it all began…

Picture
The brainchild of local resident Nicola Holland, Portishead Arts Festival is now in its second year. Nicola moved to Portishead from Bristol four years ago and was immediately smitten by Portishead’s unique combination of location, history and thriving contemporary arts community.
​ “I had lived in Bristol for more than a decade and yet knew almost nothing about our close neighbour, Portishead! When I settled my young family here, I knew we had found our forever home - so much so that I became a Portishead councillor.
Portishead is definitely a town on the up and I wanted to raise its profile. We have an amazing location and a thriving resident artistic community in Somerset - an inclusive, community arts festival was an obvious choice to help us share our wonderful area with more people.”


- Nicola Holland, Director, Portishead Arts Festival.
