About Presteigne Festival

Now in its 44th year, the Presteigne Festival has a unique place in the UK’s musical calendar – ‘a festival which continues to surprise and delight. Its well-judged mixture of accessible yet probing and avowedly contemporary music, set in rewarding, carefully compiled programmes, remains a unique, matchless and irreplaceable facet of the British classical music calendar’ (Musical Opinion).

The Festival is widely acknowledged for its exceptional work in commissioning, performing and promoting new music and living composers, and has a strong tradition for supporting emergent artists in its programme. Its influence is felt artistically and economically throughout the Welsh Marches and beyond.

Working closely with musicians, writers, artists and makers to create and curate inspiring events for an ever-widening Festival audience, the organisation provides and enables experience-broadening opportunities for its host community.

The Presteigne Festival takes place each August, featuring a vibrant five-day music-focused programme over the Bank Holiday. Additionally, earlier in the year, the organisation promotes its Springboard Weekend – a perfect launch for the Festival year – featuring an imaginative collection of community events.
