Creative Earth Eco Fest 2026
Saturday 1 August 2026
Cliffe Castle, Keighley
Admission and activities FREE
Brought to you by Impressions Gallery and Photo Hub North
Set in the beautiful grounds of Cliffe Castle, Keighley, this free festival invites people of all ages and backgrounds to make small but important changes that help the environment through creativity.
It can be difficult to know what we can do to help the planet, as the scale of the climate crisis can often be overwhelming. Eco Fest hopes to help people respond to the current environmental emergency in positive and creative ways. Whether you’re into photography, health and wellbeing, or live music, there’s something for everyone.
Come along and enjoy plant-based art and photography activities, artist-led workshops, a sustainable fashion show, pop-up photo gallery, outdoor play, photo trail, wellbeing taster sessions, talks, music, dancing, food and more. There’ll also be lots of opportunities to share ideas, inspiration and eco-hacks, all while having a fun day out!

Creative Earth Eco Fest is a partnership project produced by Impressions Gallery and Photo Hub North CIC. Made possible with funding from Arts Council England, Keighley Town Council and support from Bradford Council.

Getting to Eco Fest
Location: Cliffe Castle, Spring Gardens Lane, Keighley West Yorkshire, BD20 6LH.
We encourage everyone to travel to the festival on public transport, cycle, or to walk where possible. We recognise travelling by car is the only option for some. If this is the case we encourage people to car share. The festival will run at a time of day when it is easier to travel on public transport.
Cliffe Castle is approximately 20 minutes walk from Keighley train station, and 15 minutes walk from Keighley bus station. Buses (for example, Bradford to Skipton) pass the lower main park gates. The 903 bus service operates from Keighley Bus Station and serves Cliffe Castle on a limited basis.
If you're travelling to Keighley from elsewhere in West Yorkshire, there are several direct bus routes:
From Bradford: The 662 Shuttle runs frequently between Bradford Interchange and Keighley Bus Station, taking around 35–45 minutes.
From Leeds: The 60 Aireline provides a direct service between Leeds and Keighley via Shipley and Bingley.
From Halifax: Direct buses operate between Halifax and Keighley.
From Ilkley: The 62 runs regularly between Ilkley and Keighley via Silsden.
Our sustainable goals
We want to be clear about what we are doing to reduce the environmental impact of Creative Earth Eco Fest. We have highlighted six main areas where we are working to make the festival as eco-friendly as possible.
