The Pursuits Festivals are two-day community events designed for families and delivered by Slate Events, an organisation dedicated to uniting communities through culture and creativity.
Each festival features four distinct themed areas offering free workshops and activities, a wide selection of food and drink, live local music, and much more.
Both festivals have been highly successful, achieving strong attendance figures and positive community engagement. Stratford welcomed over 20,000 visitors and Warwick attracted 15,000 across the four days—exceeding expectations, especially as 2025 marked only the second year of the events. Continued growth in attendance is anticipated.
For 2026, the team is seeking local food, drink, and commercial vendors, as well as charities and community groups. They are also inviting expressions of interest from local musicians, performers, activity providers, workshop leaders, and speakers.
