What are you doing Sunday 23 August 2026?

Coming to The Arthur Ellis Summer Festival of course!

12noon-5pm at Great Linford Manor Park, we'll be hosting our third annual festival, featuring a dynamic range of exhibitors and activities hosted by local businesses, clubs, and community organisations in our home town of Milton Keynes. Since 2024, over 2,000 attendees are immersed in a lively atmosphere that celebrates creativity, physical activity, and intellectual exploration, all while gaining insight into the mental health benefits that each pastime offers.

Our festival wouldn't be possible without our sponsors, which in 2025 included John Lewis, TXM Group, Brioche Pasquier and the Milton Keynes Community Foundation.
