Huntingdonshire has a wealth of arts and cultural activities just waiting to be discovered. There is something for everyone on our What’s On listings, where you can search through hundreds of different events across the district to find something special to enjoy.
The Arts Service at the District Council is in the Community Team and promotes its own programme of events during the year, sometimes in partnership with other colleagues or external organisations, offering people the chance to be involved as both participants and audiences.
Our overall aim is to provide and promote arts-related activities. The key service objectives are to:
• provide a range of arts activities to encourage self-expression and support sound health and vibrant communities
• increase accessibility to a range of arts activities to meet the social and cultural needs of residents and visitors.
Fuller details of our projects will be found by following the links on the left of this page. The Arts Service pages are always being updated, so please come back for up to the minute news and information.

Cultural Olympiad Open Weekend 24 – 26 July 2009
Following last year’s success, the London 2012 Open Weekend returns to celebrate art, culture, sport, and everything that makes up the London 2012 Games.
So, if your organisation would like to be part of the Cultural Olympiad London 2012 Open Weekend, you can register your event on line. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a new event, it could be something you already have planned for that weekend but, once registered, it will benefit from the brand marketing.
