INK Festival

The UK's leading producer of original short plays.

INK is a year-round creative organisation based in Halesworth, Suffolk, best known for its annual INK Festival, a bold, energetic celebration of new theatre and original writing.



Each spring, the festival transforms the town into a hub of creativity, with original short plays, live performances, talks and pop-up events taking place across multiple venues, creating a lively and welcoming atmosphere for audiences and artists alike.

While the festival is a major highlight, INK’s work goes far beyond those five days. Throughout the year, INK supports emerging writers, delivers workshops, youth and community programmes, and brings creative events to local venues.

Visitors can enjoy inspiring performances, engaging conversations and opportunities to discover fresh creative talent, making INK a dynamic cultural destination on Suffolk’s creative coast.
