Westben is a year-round performing arts centre where music, nature, and community come together. Artists from across Canada and beyond share the stage with our neighbours from Alderville First Nation and Curve Lake First Nation—grounding the season in voices, stories, and cultures of what is now known as Trent Hills. Programming blends visiting talent and local collaborations, with artists like Jim Cuddy, Judy Collins, William Prince, Aysanabee, and the Canadian Chamber Orchestra. Westben is also a place to learn, where community choruses rehearse and perform in multiple productions throughout the year—don’t miss Shrek The Musical. Arrive early to walk the trails, explore native species gardens, and spend time on the land. Stay for yoga, shared meals, and performances that will stay with you long after the final note.
