ArtBomb Festival 2025: A Meaningful Use of Time

Come for the art... Stay for the conversations.

ArtBomb is Doncaster’s festival of experimental art, urgent ideas and collective imagination.

Taking over shops, streets and unexpected spaces, ArtBomb 2025 brings together artists, performers, thought leaders, communities and dreamers to explore how we live, and how we might live better. This year’s theme, A Meaningful Use of Time, invites audiences to slow down and tune in.

Through powerful installations, residencies, performances and provocations, we’re thinking with water, listening to plants, challenging stigma, and celebrating survival. From deep listening sculpture, performance interventions, experiments with peat, a cybernetic shop, a mini-concert in a square, electronic music improvisations and films exploring community and climate, this is art that’s grounded, generous and full of fight.
