Bath Bodyart Weekend 2026

Bath Bodyart Weekend is a three day mini festival for those who like a bit of sparkle in their lives!

Ever fancied trying your hand at henna, face or body painting or glitter art? How about gem clusters, festival hair or prop making? Would you like to walk the catwalk, bringing original artwork to life? Or just sit by the fire, enjoy some live music, while the kids fly kites and learn to juggle? Come and let our artists decorate you with all things colourful and sparkly! 

This is a relaxed, family friendly, mini festival for all things bodyart related. Held in a beautiful corner of the Somerset countryside, within walking distance of the historical city of Bath, this is an opportunity for those with an interest in body art, in any of its many forms, to gather with like minded creatives and indulge their passion, without the premium price tag that usually comes attached.

Family friendly with live music, entertainment, retailers and stalls, competitions and workshops. Learn a new skill with the opportunity to browse niche professional products, usually only available on line.

Although primarily a body art event, encompassing everything from facepainting, glitter and festival makeup through to henna and full bodypainting, this friendly gathering is as much for the complete newcomer as it is for the  experienced professional. We go out of our way to make sure that kids and families are well catered for because this allows the adults to relax. It is very difficult to get the creative juices flowing with bored children demanding attention so we see facilities like a free bouncy castle and circus skills workshops as an essential part, every bit as important as the paint and the glitter!

Unless otherwise stated, all tickets include camping and KIDS GO FREE!

This year's competition theme will be announced shortly
