Nailsea Festival of Music

There are many Music Festivals, or Eisteddfods, taking place in the area, but none in Nailsea or surrounds.  In 2005 a group of four Nailsea residents decided to start such an event, to see if there was sufficient support for this to be run on an annual basis.

The first Festival was held on 16 November 2006 in Nailsea, mainly at the Methodist Church, but with some classes also held in Christ Church.  There were classes for piano, strings, voice and woodwind, and these were well supported by  local teachers. The 2007 festival was even more successful and saw a 40% increase in entries, which meant that we were able to hire the Methodist Church, Wesley Building, United Reform Church and Christ Church and had four adjudicators.

In addition, support was received from Nailsea Town Council, the Lottery Fund, Nailsea Community Trust and the Engineering Employers Federation, plus local businesses and friends.
