Worcester’s own bold and beloved, student-made, new and emerging, disabled-led and inclusive arts festival.

Looking for all things fresh, fun, and new:

We’re seeking emerging artists, performers, stallholders and creatives for our RETURN: on 21st-23rd March 2025!

What’s on in 2025?

We’ve commissioned 2 brand new multi-sensory exhibitions by local blind/VI artists. When art cannot be seen, it must be experienced: check out the tactile and auditory components at “Orange” by Ella Abel and “(Dis)Connected” by Jodie Rose McLoughlin.

Celebrate you: Disability Pride – Collection launch & mini exhibition!

Community exhibitions: These are collections of art open to ALL! Do you have any artwork or crafts that fit into one of our themes? Get involved today! [link to: speakvolumesfestival.co.uk]
