Building on the success of three previous popular festivals, FORM will return to Falmouth in May 2026.

FORM showcases over 90 exhibitors, including painters, ceramicists, printmakers, jewellers, woodworkers and sculptors, continuing to represent Cornwall’s long-standing artistic tradition.

Event organisers are calling for artists and makers who would like to take part in the three-day art-buying event, to send in their applications from 15 September. More information on how to apply by 26 October 2025 is available on FORM’s website - www.formfalmouth.com

Applicants should be living and working in Cornwall or have a strong connection to the county in their work. A carefully curated selection of work will be exhibited from Friday 15 to Sunday 17 May 2026 in the unique setting of the Princess Pavilion, Falmouth.

Conceived to celebrate the county’s contemporary arts and crafts heritage and vibrant creative culture, FORM provides a platform for people at all stages in their creative journey.

Last year’s FORM festival attracted over 5,000 visitors and the organisers say its vibrant atmosphere is boosted by delicious street food vendors and a soundtrack supplied by local musicians. Next year, the music programme will be hosted by local radio station Source FM, who will be broadcasting from the festival.
