Festival of Creativity – Newark's Narnia
Saturday 4 October, various locations

This autumn, Newark invites families to embrace the chill and wrap themselves in warmth and wonder with a day of free, drop-in activities inspired by Narnia and the Danish concept of Hygge - a celebration of comfort, creativity, and community.

Across multiple venues in the town, visitors can step through the wardrobe into a world of storytelling, imagination, and hands-on fun. From crafting mythical creatures and enchanted feasts to sampling sweet treats and joining in with interactive performances, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Highlights include Rhubarb Theatre’s lively shows at Newark Library, crafting workshops at the Town Hall, and creative sessions at the YMCA and Palace Theatre, where families can decorate marshmallows, design hot chocolates, and even meet the White Witch herself. The National Civil War Centre and Newark Art Gallery will also be buzzing with activities—from gingerbread-inspired townscapes and wellbeing workshops to storytelling around a cosy campfire.

Whether you're making, playing, watching, or simply soaking up the atmosphere, this is a day designed to bring people together through shared experiences and seasonal joy.

So layer up, head into town, and discover the magic waiting around every corner.
