With a main cultural theme of Russia, an artistic focus on stories and an environmental theme of chalk and stone the 2010 Salisbury International Arts Festival promises to weave this colourful thread through performance, visual arts, literature and music and envelop Salisbury and the surrounding area in a colourful and vibrant celebration of the arts.

2010 also marks the 25th year of Friends Provident’s support of the Festival. This wonderful relationship with our Principal Sponsor has enabled the Festival to flourish and grow into the vibrant and internationally renowned event it is today. Plans for further celebrations will be revealed in the New Year.

Festival Director Maria Bota says of the 2010 festival:

‘I am thrilled to present my second Salisbury International Arts Festival.  We are honoured to be working in such a glorious landscape, from the ancient circles of Stonehenge, the romance of Old Wardour Castle, our beautiful chalk downs through to the inspiring Salisbury Cathedral.  These locations offer incredible settings for artists to respond to and be inspired by.

Our themes of Russia, Stories, Chalk and Stone will weave their way through the programme.'
