We are fortunate to have creative people in Peterborough who have ideas. The idea is the starting point, and then it takes people with a variety of skills and dedication to have the faith and courage to carry out these ideas. Local ladies Mary Martin, Judy Evans and Valda Graefe had an idea "Why don't we create a week long festival?" The idea gained support and the Peterborough Art & Cultural Festival came into being.

The aims of the Art &

Cultural Festival are:

To help residents of Peterborough recognise and acknowledge the local talent that exists in our community (in all its forms). To encourage the community to think positive and participate in new activities. To take pride in our abilities and achievements. To promote Peterborough, as we have a lot to offer both residents and visitors alike. The Festival is held around Easter annually and is supported by the District Council of Peterborough & local sponsors (businesses and individuals).
