About the Don Valley Festival

The Don Valley Festival is the Doncaster region’s longest-running festival of its kind, established in 1912. This vibrant community event extends far beyond Doncaster, with a strong focus on nurturing and celebrating young talent and creativity. We provide a platform for emerging artists, musicians, performers, and photographers to showcase their skills across a range of disciplines, including music, drama, art, and photography.

By offering this opportunity, the festival encourages creative growth while fostering a strong sense of community. It serves as an inspiring space for young people from Doncaster and the surrounding areas to express themselves and be celebrated for their talents within the dynamic worlds of the arts.
