DAISY FEST 2025

It’s a busy and exciting time here at DAiSY as we gear up for the return of DAiSY-FEST – back for the first time in seven years! We’re so happy to announce that our two-day arts festival will be held at G Live in Guildford this November. This year’s theme is ‘Connections’ – giving us a space to reflect on people, places, creativity, and explore the new possibilities that emerge when we come together.

This November, we’re bringing together our growing network of arts and charitable organisations to understand what makes both micro and macro communities thrive. Rooted in shared learning, the festival invites audiences to celebrate creative connection in action. 

On Friday, the festival launches with a series of conversations, reflections, and actions with our community – locally, regionally and nationwide – to understand what is gained when we work together. These thoughtful exchanges will explore how collaboration across disciplines and sectors helps build more resilient and imaginative futures.

On Saturday, G Live will be a vibrant hub of cultural activity, featuring film screenings, live performances, workshops, installations, and stalls from member organisations to cultural partners. Many organisations will be showcasing this year’s DAiSY cultural projects publicly for the first time. The day will spotlight Surrey-based organisations and artists, offering a rich glimpse into the creativity thriving in our local area.

The festival as a whole is a wider exploration of how social, artistic, and organisational networks can support innovation, access, and collective growth. Whether you’re an artist, producer, charity worker or curious visitor, this is your invitation to connect with DAiSY. We currently have several opportunities for DAiSY Chain artists to get involved with the programming of the festival, so please do share the message. 

Further information, line-up and ticket information to follow – for now, please do check out and share our upcoming artist opportunities with your networks.
