We’re delighted to welcome Bella Hardy to the Art Theatre in New Mills!

Don’t miss your chance to experience one of the most celebrated voices in modern folk live on stage, as daughter of the Peaks Bella Hardy returns for a special homecoming gig at New Mills Art Theatre ahead of the release of her eagerly anticipated new album.

Known for her crystal-clear voice and fearless songwriting, Bella continues to push the boundaries of contemporary folk while remaining deeply rooted in the traditions that first inspired her. A gifted storyteller, her work explores themes of home and heartache, love and loss, with striking honesty and poetic depth.

With new material set to debut, the audience will be among the very first to experience this exciting new chapter. And with this being her last show of the year, expect a scattering of winter treats to celebrate the season.

This homecoming performance at New Mills Theatre promises to be especially meaningful. Drawing on her deep connection to the Peak District, Bella brings her music back to the landscapes that have shaped her voice and vision.

From her breakthrough debut Night Visiting (2007) through ten acclaimed solo albums, Bella has forged an extraordinary career. She’s performed unaccompanied at the Royal Albert Hall, learned songs from farmers in rural China, and immersed herself in the music of Nashville during a year as a Tennessee ranch hand. Her journey has shaped a voice that is at once worldly and deeply personal, a voice that earned her the title of BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards Singer of the Year.
