Penkhull Festival 2021
16th - 19th September
We were all disappointed last September when Penkhull Festival had to be postponed. We missed seeing and hearing fantastic music and art, but equally significantly, we missed seeing each other and enjoying the social aspect of the festival.
This year, in 2021, the Festival returns with renewed vigour, albeit in a slightly scaled down format. Continuing restrictions mean that, sadly, we cannot hold our events for school pupils. We will present, however, three stunning concerts with an amazing array of music, and we do hope that you will be able to join us.
On the Thursday evening, renowned pianist Simon Callaghan presents a solo recital, followed on Friday evening by a concert given by saxophone and harp duo Huw Wiggin and Oliver Wass. Former artistic director Greg Hallam returns to Penkhull on the Saturday afternoon to present a vocal recital of Shakespeare settings, accompanied by pianist Robert Thompson. Following the recital, we invite you all to join us for afternoon tea in the village hall.
In the meantime, I would like to encourage you to consider joining our growing Friends, Patrons and Benefactors Scheme. Please find details here on the website. And please do follow us on FaceBook and Twitter! If you would like us to do our bit for the environment, please help us to go paper-free by signing up to our e-Newsletter, if you've not already done so.
Booking opens for the 2021 Penkhull Festival on Monday 9th August.
Thank you for your continued support of Penkhull Festival. Stay safe and well.
With best wishes,
Chris Brammeld
Artistic Director
