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.

We have now published the 2021 Music Timetable.

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.
