Feedback sought for Hartlepool festival that attracted an estimated 20,000 visitors
Organisers of this year’s successful Hartlepool Wintertide Festival are encouraging people to provide feedback by taking part in a survey.
An estimated 15,000 to 20,000 people took part in art and community activities on offer on the Headland during the weekend of November 21-23.
It included three-days of live music performances, art trails, craft market, stunning light installations, children’s fairground rides, food vendors and fireworks.
Wintertide is supported by investment from Tees Valley Combined Authority (TVCA) through the Festival Scale Up Programme.


A key part of the evaluation process is to gather feedback from visitors.
To assist with the evaluation of the programme, an online survey about Wintertide is up and running now.
It comprises questions about visitors’ experience of the festival including what activities and events they attended, about themselves and where you have travelled from.
The survey will take around 10 minutes to complete and can be found at www.surveymonkey.com/r/Wintertide2025.
The next Wintertide is due to happen in 2027.
