Join Nick Cope for his ever-popular interactive music sessions with songs about everything from counting to how plants grow!

A singing group specifically for people over 55. Participants don't need any previous experience as Choir 55 is all about having fun and enjoying music!

Due to unforeseen circumstances this event has been cancelled.

From the Charleston of the 1920s through the beautiful classic songs of the 1930s to swing and jazz mayhem, Michael Law’s Piccadilly Dance Orchestra and the four Gatsby Girls present a night of razzle dazzle.

The Festival is delighted to welcome back one of its former Young Artists, now established as one of the UK’s leading pianists.

Experience the power of thundering rhythms on huge taiko drums, mysterious masked choreography, synchronisation timed to perfection and post-apocalyptic martial imagery in this spellbinding display of sheer energy. 

A fascinating evening of two halves, focusing on the dramatic affair between artist Oskar Kokoschka and composer Alma Mahler, starring operatic legend Sir John Tomlinson.
