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 and Speech &
Drama, 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 Harris
Academy Bromley (formerly Cator Park School), Beckenham; Harris Academy
Beckenham (formerly Kelsey Park School), Beckenham 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). N.B. the 2011 syllabus is currently shown on
this website and will be updated with details for 2012 when the new syllabus
has been finalised. The
entry form can be downloaded from each section’s page. |
