Hayes Festival of New Work
Every day, 6pm to 8pm Monday 10 August to Sunday 23 August
Over two jam-packed weeks, Hayes bursts to life with brand-new songs, bold new stories, and the brilliant artists behind them
Catch concert presentations, musical sneak peeks, behind-the-scenes conversations with artistic leaders, creative masterclasses, and pop-up events that turn the theatre into a creative playground.
Springing from our thriving Hayes Creative program, past festivals have launched musicals like Phar Lap (2024) and Silver Tongue (2025) – shows that started at our Festival before hitting the mainstage. Whether you come to present, to perform, or to soak up inspiration, the Festival of New Work is where connections are made and ideas come alive.
