The Festival takes place each year in March and consists of five separate section events, choral, vocal, instrumental, pianoforte and speech & drama, in pursuit of our educational objective. The festival is primarily structured around the needs of children and young people who account for over 90 per cent of its entrants. They aim to support the performing arts by encouraging parents, friends and the public to attend the events. In addition they offer a number of classes for adult and amateur performers of any age.
The Festival sometimes organises workshops to assist artistic development, and they conclude each festival with finale concert(s), which promote the festival, giving entrants a more structured performance opportunity and act as a showcase for their talents.
They seek to provide an environment for performers which is supportive, encouraging, and does not expose them to feelings of failure. The Festival is competitive and has rules necessary to ensure fairness.
