Welcome to the
​Penkhull Festival of Music & Art

Established in 1966, Penkhull Festival is an innovative annual event which takes place in Stoke-on-Trent each September. The 2017 festival was a huge success, where audience enjoyed performances from Voces8, Robert Thompson and the Swansea Bach Choir conducted by outgoing Artistic Director Greg Hallam.

The festival's home is the historic Domesday village of Penkhull, surrounded by the rolling countryside of the Staffordshire moorlands.

From 2018, composer Chris Brammeld assumes the role of Artistic Director. We hope that you enjoy exploring our website, and we look forward to welcoming you to one of our events in September.
