IN THE month of June, Royal Wootton Bassett will be filled with singing and music at the Music Festival.

Musicians, young and old, from all over Wiltshire and beyond, will be performing at the town’s very own Music festival from June 23-July 2.

The festival has had over 300 entries this year, involving over 700 performers, with a wide range of instruments from piano and singing to church organ and harp. As always, the standard will be high.

John Davies, chair of the Music Festival said: “We hope lots of people are able to come along to hear the wonderful music and insightful comments from our expert adjudicators.

"It’s an opportunity enjoy the performances, maybe even pick up a tip or two, and to support a festival that is helping to boost the Arts in our local area. We would like to wish all of our entrants the best of luck.”

Some of the key ‘not to miss’ events during the festival will be: Singing at the Memorial Hall - Friday, June 23 to Sunday, June 25.
