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, and the 2008 Festival had 50% more entries again.  In 2008 we hired the Methodist Church, Wesley Building, United Reformed Church, Christ Church and Church House, and had five adjudicators plus three accompanists. 

For 2009 we are again hiring five venues, and following the success of the Speech and Drama classes introduced in 2008, will hold these on a separate day.
