Bank Holiday weekend of musical discoveries in Dorchester Abbey

The English Music Festival celebrates the brilliance, innovation, beauty and rich musical heritage of Britain with a strong focus on unearthing overlooked or forgotten masterpieces of the late-nineteenth to mid-twentieth century.

Join us in Dorchester-on-Thames for audience favourites and some new discoveries and World Premiere performances by guest artists including the BBC Concert Orchestra.

Tickets are on sale from the website and by means of a postal booking form. Tickets for individual concerts will also be available on the door, subject to availability. Full Festival and Day Passes are also available.

Dorchester Abbey is the venue for the duration of the long weekend with talks taking place in the Village Hall as well as a Festival Lunch (pre-booking required). A dedicated mini-bus shuttle operates to/from Didcot Parkway rail station - bookings should be made via the website on publication of the timetable.
