British Textile Biennial 2025

British Textile Biennial (BTB) is a free festival of contemporary art, commissioning artists and designers from all over the world to make work inspired by the context and legacy of the textile industry in East Lancashire and its global impact, often in the places that were created by it.

Every other October, East Lancashire becomes an exciting cultural destination that welcomes visitors from all over the country and the world, set against the beautiful backdrop of our moors and hills and hosted by our local partners and volunteers who give everyone a warm Lancashire welcome. 

Through exhibitions at partner venues, commissions in public spaces, artist residencies and long-term projects with local communities, as well as our year-round education programmes, BTB plays a key role in the cultural development of the area, offering a range of inspirational creative experiences and opportunities for everyone.

Full programme to be announced.
