We are pleased to announce that the syllabus for the 2025 Croydon Performing Arts Festival is now available to download and the entry system is now open; it will close on Sunday November 24th!
​
​
Our Western Dance section will run from May 24th – 31st and that syllabus and entry system will be available from January with a similar announcement made when that is active.
​
We hope to run all sections to the fullest capacity, but we are dependent upon
sufficient volunteer help at these January/February sessions so, if you can
help, please get in touch by answering this circular.
