New Milton
Music Festival

Welcome to the 2026 Festival

PLEASE NOTE Adult Vocal classes revert back to Saturday 14th March at Durlston School Chapel.

Thank you for all entries. Timetable processing is now underway. Please now email any last minute entries or changes to info@newmiltonmusicfestival.org.uk. Timetable to be published in 3rd week of February.

There are a few new things to note for this year:

New "Scratch Ensemble" class for Guitarists. A chance for all soloist to join together just for fun to experience playing in a large ensemble. See Guitar syllabus for information. The chosen pieces will be communicated by email to those taking part.

Adult choirs, please note we have changed the classes of entry and now invite you to bring a 15 minute mixed programme to celebrate the style and talent of your Choir.

Having held our spectator fee for more than 10 years, we will now be charging adult visitors £2.50 for day-long entry to the festival on Saturdays 14th and 21st March. There is no change to the voluntary donation to watch the Adult Choirs on the afternoon of Sunday 22nd March.

The Gala Concert also remains a £5 entry for Adults. This year we are very excited to welcome Rose Gosney, Young Musician of the Year 2024 quarter finalist, both as an adjudicator for the morning of the String Section, and also performing at the Gala Concert.
