Beckenham Festival is one of the largest amateur competitive performing arts festivals in the south-east of England.

There are around 400 classes in Music, Dancing and Speech & Drama, with specialist adjudicators in all sections. As well as certificates and medals there are 135 cups, trophies, and awards to be won. A “Musician of the Year” competition is held on the final Sunday, and the Festival acts as a qualifying heat for the All-England Dance Competition.

IMPORTANT: For safety reasons, we will only be running solo music classes in 2021. Choirs, duets, and other group classes will not run in 2021.

​

​In 2021 the Festival will be held at

• Langley Park School for Boys, Beckenham

• Marian Vian Primary School, Beckenham

​

Classes will take place on weekends in October and November, and we will follow all UK government safety guidelines in relation to the Covid-19 pandemic.
