Arts
Huntingdonshire has a wealth of arts and cultural activities just waiting to be discovered. There is something for everyone on the arts scene locally - please go to cambridgeshire.net for more information, 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.

Arts Diary
The final bumper January/March edition of the Huntingdonshire Arts Diary can be downloaded from the link on the right.
After more than 14 years of production, totalling some 86 editions, it has been decided to stop publication of the Arts Diary.
From April onwards, details of local arts events will feature in a special pull-out and keep events supplement of District Wide, delivered every two months to all homes and businesses in the District.
An edited version, showing only arts-related events, will also be available as a download from the end of March, and you can also find a link to the county-wide What’s On database at cambridgeshire.net.
