Thank you to all performers, supporters and helpers who made last year’s Festival such a success. It was good to see Organ classes back, with 12 entrants. Why enter the Suffolk Festival? A recent survey revealed that the majority of those who enter our classes do so for enjoyment. Why not join them!

Chairman

Suffolk Festival is for people of all ages and a wide range of ability. Amateur musicians, dancers and actors have the chance to perform in a friendly and supportive environment, with the constructive advice of a professional adjudicator. Most classes are competitive, but we encourage a friendly atmosphere in which the emphasis is not on winning, but on celebrating a wealth of talent, dedication and achievement.

The Festival takes place throughout October, followed by the Gala Concert in November and the Spring Concert the following April. Performers also appear in other events around the county.
