We’re delighted to have launched a new website for Rye Arts Festival, timed to coincide with tickets going on sale for this year’s programme.
Rye Arts Festival has been at the heart of the town’s cultural life for more than half a century. This year’s festival takes place from 10th to 27th September 2026, with a varied programme of music, literature, theatre, talks and other events taking place in venues throughout Rye and the surrounding area.
The new website has been designed to complement the Festival’s existing box-office portal, giving visitors a clear and welcoming introduction to the organisation before directing them seamlessly through to browse events and purchase tickets.
Built with WordPress and its latest default block theme, Twenty Twenty-Five, the site makes extensive use of the native Block Editor rather than relying on a heavyweight page builder. The result is a flexible, easy-to-manage website designed to load quickly across desktop and mobile devices.
The homepage introduces the Festival and highlights a selection of events from the newly launched programme, while the wider site provides information about its history, membership, sponsorship, booking and visiting Rye.
The website and 2026 Festival programme officially launched at 6pm on Sunday 26th July, with tickets immediately available through the integrated box-office portal.
We’re very pleased to have played our part in the launch and look forward to seeing Rye fill once again with performers, speakers, artists and audiences this September.
