St Ann’s Well Gardens is one of Brighton and Hove’s most treasured and loved City parks. The Spring Festival was established 16 years ago to celebrate the park’s Centenary. Over the years we have seen the Festival grow into one of the finest free festivals in the Country and is now a firm date in every Brightonian’s diary.
In 2022 we welcomed thousands of people to the park, this was followed by a two year break, but we were back in 2025 with a bang!
Where else can you find an event that covers such a broad range of interests and the arts? St Ann’s Well Spring Festival hits the mark. It has it all-music, creativity, art, dance, circus skills, history and many other attractions. It is a microcosm of Brighton and Hove, showcasing its vibrancy and diversity that entices so many people and visitors to the City.
