Unfortunately,
due to an insufficient number of people to organise the Speech and Drama
section, these classes cannot be held this year. It is hoped the situation
may be remedied before the 2009 Festival. The
Beckenham Festival is one of the largest amateur competitive performing arts
festivals in the south-east of England. It is held during weekends in
November each year and offers classes in Music and Dancing, with specialist
adjudicators in all sections. There are around 500 classes to choose from, and
as well as certificates and medals there are over 200 cups and trophies to be
won, and many cash prizes and bursaries are awarded to successful
competitors. A “Musician of the Year” competition is held on the final
Sunday. The
Festival is held at Cator Park School, Beckenham; Kelsey Park School,
Beckenham; Sydenham High School, Sydenham and St. George’s Church, Beckenham. For
information on how the Festival is run please go to the Frequently Asked
Questions page. The
Festival syllabus is published in June each year and is available free from
London Borough of Bromley libraries and music shops or from the Festival
organisers (see Enquires above). Full details of the 2008 Festival are
now shown on this website. A
link to obtain a copy of the entry form is available at the end of the
Festival Rules page. |
