This is our
61st year of the Festival
and we feel very proud to have reached this milestone!
The aim of
our festival is to encourage and promote a high standard
in the performing arts, including vocals, instrumental music
and speech.
The
festival is a series of competitions for vocalists, choirs
and instrumentalists as well as for verse speaking and readings
in public. We provide a platform for amateur performers
of all ages and abilities, in a friendly but competitive
atmosphere.
Our
festival is often the first platform for many future professionals
- 80% of performers competing nationally are under 18 years.

first-hand from some of our fantastic competitors!
