The annual Arts Fresco street theatre festival in Market Harborough will be taking a hiatus in 2026 before returning to the town in 2027.

​

The annual one-day festival first ran in 2002. In September 2025, a successful and well-attended Arts Fresco event showcased some of the best street theatre performers in the UK and Europe. 
 
Neil Kitson, Chair of the organising committee of Arts Fresco commented: “As with most other festivals, financial support is always an issue and having experienced a few challenges with our funding over recent years, the committee have taken the difficult decision to have a year off and come back bigger and stronger next year. This will help us to plan, develop and present the sort of wonderful event that people have come to expect.”
