Festival Details

Basingstoke Music & Arts Festival is a friendly inclusive festival dedicated to providing a positive and encouraging performance experience for participants of all ages and abilities. We offer classes in Strings, Speech & Drama, Pianoforte, Ensembles, Woodwind, Brass, Singing and Creative Writing, and we're delighted to introduce our new Popular Music section for 2027.

BMAF was established in 1963 and is organised annually by a small group of dedicated volunteers. Committee members and venues have changed over the years and sections have been added or deleted according to public demand.
