Salisbury Festival has grown in size and importance since its beginnings in 1973 where it blazed into life with a performance by Paco Pena. Held annually from mid-May to early June in and around Salisbury, it includes an interesting mix of theatre, dance, film, music, visual arts and literary events based around a theme (changed each year). Free events are also included such as the opening night, street theatre over the Bank Holiday weekend and the Salisbury Live gigs in pubs across the city.
