A note from our Chair, Richard Deering
If you have appreciated the work put into this festival and you realise the enormous help that the festival has given to develop the self-esteem and self-respect, especially for the young performers, and would like to offer help - either-year-round or at the event - so that we may make it possible to hold a similar event in 2026, please contact us! On behalf of the Trustees, thank you for your continued interest and support.
