The Watford Festival was established over 75 years ago and has grown from strength to strength to become one of the largest and most respected in the UK. It aims to encourage people of all ages to perform in the areas of Music, Speech and Drama by providing an opportunity to perform before an adjudicator and an audience.
The Festival is held in February and March every year. It is a competitive festival and there are classes for both children and adults available. Classes are divided into the following sections:
Choral, Vocal, Pianoforte, Strings, Woodwind & Brass, Carnatic and Speech & Drama.
Please note that the Pianoforte section is now full! Please contact the section leader if you need more information.
The Festival receives many hundreds of entries every year, involving hundreds of participants. It offers a unique opportunity for these participants to experience performing in front of an audience and to receive expert advice and encouragement.

URGENT CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS!SPEECH AND DRAMA SECTION LEADERFollowing the very sad passing away of Dan Collins, we need a volunteer to take up the role of Speech & Drama Section Leader, working with a team of volunteers to manage the Section. All Section Leader Roles need specific activity at particular points in the year, but are perfectly doable as part-time intermittent activities (for the most part).
If anyone would be interested in volunteering to help with any of these roles, either as a Section Leader, or as part of a team of volunteers, please contact the Chairman, Jennifer Hill on 020 8952 6373 or at jenniehill@watfordfestival.co.uk for more information.
