Totnes Heritage Festival 2026 – Another great day for the town!
Damp weather didn’t deter this year’s festivalgoers who came in their hundreds throughout the day and, with so much to see and do and the Dartington Morris Dancers bringing music and colour to the traffic free streets, the hours flew by in a whirl of joy and celebration.
Throughout the day festivalgoers were spoilt for choice with numerous workshops for all ages at The Town Mill and The Mansion, heritage tours, lectures, fascinating exhibitions at Totnes Museum, tours of The Guildhall and a full-length film about Dartington’s heritage at the end of the day at Totnes Cinema, a venue which in itself is full of history.
Some 900 people passed through St Mary’s Church where workshops were running all day
and Totnes Castle’s Open Day attracted over 800 visitors
The festival ended with a sell-out magical evening concert at The Guildhall by the London based early music ensemble, The Morley Consort: four exceptional young musicians who specialise in 16th and 17th century music.
The festival was once again coordinated by the Totnes Heritage Trust in partnership with Totnes Town Council and, for the first time, the national Heritage Open Days. However, as always, the greatest thanks go to all the event organisers without whose enthusiasm and hard work the Totnes Heritage Festival couldn’t exist.
