Sholto Walker Celebrates 25 Years of the Frome Festival

We look back at more than two decades of festival posters and programmes illustrated by Sholto Walker.

Sholto is celebrating 25 years of the Frome Festival this July, having illustrated its poster and events programme every year since 2002. What began as a local festival in the Somerset market town has grown into a much-loved annual event, welcoming acclaimed artists, performers, writers and musicians alongside thousands of summer visitors.

To mark the anniversary, Sholto has shared twelve of his favourite festival illustrations from across the years, looking back on a creative partnership that has become an enduring part of the festival's identity.
