Chelsea Arts Festival – 19th – 21st September 2025
Get ready for a brand-new celebration of creativity and culture in the heart of London.
Mark your calendars for the inaugural Chelsea Arts Festival, an exciting new event presented by C&TH Events in collaboration with Cadogan. From September 19–21, iconic Chelsea venues – including Cadogan Hall, the Saatchi Gallery, and the Royal Court Theatre – will come alive with a dynamic mix of art, culture, and creativity.
This festival will capture the vibrant, bohemian spirit of Chelsea, bringing together an extraordinary collection of artists, performers, thinkers, creative visionaries and storytellers. Expect an inspiring lineup of thought-provoking talks, engaging debates, hands-on workshops, and unforgettable live performances.
Beyond the ticketed events, Chelsea’s streets will pulse with energy, offering free outdoor performances and activations throughout the King’s Road, Duke of York Square, Sloane Street, and Sloane Square, transforming the area into a lively celebration of creativity.
This new annual fixture on London’s cultural calendar will feature the brightest names from page, stage and screen, encompassing the worlds of music, theatre, film, literature and visual arts. All of this will be announced over the coming weeks in the build up to ticket sales in May.
Hugh Seaborn, CEO at Cadogan, said, ‘Chelsea has long been a beacon of creativity, the haunt of artists, radicals, painters and poets – drawing iconic characters and stories from Oscar Wilde to Bram Stoker, James Bond to James McNeill Whistler, JMW Turner, The Rolling Stones and The Beatles to Vivienne Westwood and Mary Quant. We look forward to seeing the festival ignite the neighbourhood with further artistic energy, providing an inspiring and accessible programme of events for residents and visitors alike.’
Lucy Cleland, Editorial Director of C&TH, said, ‘C&TH is thrilled to be partnering with Cadogan in launching the Chelsea Arts Festival, which will put Chelsea front and centre of the capital’s cultural conversation. Bringing together a hugely diverse programme of events and with music, food and entertainment spilling out into Chelsea’s fabled streets, there will be no other festival like it.’
