Blyth Celebrates
August 2025 to March 2026
Blyth Celebrates - a celebration of creativity and community.
Since August 2025, Blyth Celebrates has brought eight months of free festivals, events and experiences to the town – from live music and art trails to family activities and world-class installations.
The programme has celebrated Blyth’s creativity, heritage, and community spirit, alongside the opening of the Market Pavilion and revitalised Market Place.
Thank you to everyone who took part and helped shape the programme so far.
