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 Cator Park School, Beckenham; 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). Full details of the 2010 Festival are now
shown on this website. The entry form can be downloaded from each
section’s page. |
