A new cultural destination for the city

Five of the beautiful Victorian railway arches have been recently redeveloped into affordable studio and office space for local artists, creatives and performers.

These arches take their place alongside a thriving community of local businesses, restaurants, and cafes creating a new destination for the local community and tourists visiting Worcester.

Events

Festivals

From January 2019 to March 2023 Severn Arts was a lead partner in The Arches Worcester Project and the delivery partner for the festivals strand of the project. Over the four years, the project funding enabled the festivals team to produce four Light Nights, In Memoriam, an art installation by Luke Jerram, Same But Different, Atmosphere and The Rising festivals.

Participate

Festivals and events need support with key skills, such as fundraising and sponsorship; production; technology; commissioning; commercial development; and artistic programming. The funding will provide support to train volunteers to work across the whole of the city’s festival and cultural event programme, which will enable all sizes and scales of cultural organisations to increase their impact and expertise.
