BlackFest needs your support to help us deliver BlackFest 2026 – our celebration of Black arts, culture, creativity and community.

Running from September to October 2026, BlackFest brings together artists, performers, creatives and communities through a programme of live music, theatre, film, visual arts, fashion, workshops and cultural events.

This year, BlackFest is bringing its programme to communities across Liverpool, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol and London.

We are fundraising £10,000 to help us deliver the festival and support the artists and communities who make it possible.

Your donations will help contribute towards the costs of producing BlackFest 2026, including artist and creative opportunities, venues, event production, community activities, promotion and making our programme accessible to wider audiences.

BlackFest is committed to improving equality, equity and access to the arts while creating platforms for Black artists to showcase their work, develop their careers and connect with new audiences.

Every contribution makes a difference.

Whether you donate £5, £10, £25, £50 or more, your support will help us continue celebrating Black creativity and bringing communities together through arts and culture.

Our goal is to raise £10,000.

Please donate if you can and share our fundraiser with your friends, family, colleagues and networks.

Thank you for supporting BlackFest 2026.
