About the artists and work
Wintertide Festival will once again be burning brightly on Hartlepool’s Headland from Friday the 21st to Sunday the 23rd of November, with a packed programme of art, music and performances along with workshops and an independent maker’s market.
One of the only grassroots residential festivals in the Tees Valley, Wintertide hosts an artistic programme that reflects and celebrates Hartlepool, its people, places, passions, heritage and folklore. Wintertide’s aim is to bring the historic streets of the Headland to life, which it achieves by welcoming over 15,000 people to the area every other year in this bi-annual festival of arts.
Accessibility and suitability
Not all events have step-free access as the festival is situated within heritage site. The festival has accessible toilet facilities and is largely designed to be suitable for all ages and needs. Please check individual events for content warnings and age restrictions. Visitors with additional access requirements or concerns should notify the venue or organisers in advance. A free companion ticket is available with proof of eligibility, please get in touch at hello@wintertidefestival.co.uk for more information.
