Petersfield Musical Festival
For more than a century, the Festival has promoted the benefits of music-making and concert-going in Petersfield and the surrounding area. Its annual Festival in March provides a varied programme of choral, orchestral, family and youth concerts, smaller-scale recitals and guest celebrity performances.
In pursuit of excellence, the Festival engages renowned conductors, ensembles and soloists who share the platform with over 600 local singers and instrumentalists.
The annual Festival takes place at the Petersfield Festival Hall, built for the purpose and officially opened in 1935, and other venues in Petersfield.
We have recovered well after the coronavirus pandemic, had an almost complete Festival in March 2022, with just one concert cancelled, and had an extremely successful Festival in March 2023, with near-record audiences of over 2,000 people who attended ten concerts/recitals. Our next Festival will take place between 15th and 23rd March 2024, which will comprise 11 concerts/recitals in Petersfield Festival Hall and St. Peter's Church, Petersfield.
