Entertainment & Culture
Westben Photo
If you enjoy your entertainment in a slightly different environment, then Campbellford's Westben Arts Festival Theatre is a must for you. Founded by renowned classical pianist Brian Finley and his partner soloist Donna Bennett, Westben performs typically sold out performances in a specially constructed concert barn, surrounded by a flower filled meadow and pond.
As you enter the wooden structure, you can't help but notice the soaring beams and pioneer atmosphere allowing intimate concert seating for 350. Enormous sliding doors expose the rolling vistas of farming pastures which give a unique country backdrop in contrast with the sounds from the stage.
Surrounded by fine dining, artist studios, one-of-a-kind shops and boutiques, cozy bed & breakfasts, Westben is a perfect way to spend a weekend.
