• We are excited to introduce new classes in all three sections of the Festival for 2026. The Music and Speech & Drama Sections are offering evening ‘Open Mic’ sessions for people who would like the experience of performing in public without the pressure of competition. Our Dance Section has introduced a solo competitive class for adults as well as a non-competitive solo class for dancers of any age between five and eighteen and a class for groups of dancers from secondary schools. Whether you chose to enter the festival competitively or to gain experience or come along to watch hundreds of talented performers take to the stage, 2026 is definitely a great year for you to take the plunge and join in this wonderful local event.

Thank you ………….
