Closing date for entries: 
Friday, 15 January, 2027
Festival Location: 
Highbridge and Burnham-on-Sea

We welcome entrants of all ages, from tiny tots to octogenerians, to share their talents in the performing arts. We offer classes to suit all abilities and interests in Speech & Drama, Dance and Music, whether you wish to enter competitively or simply to receive feedback to support you on your performance path. In 2026 we introduced a very successful non-competitive 'Open Mic' evening when we welcomed enthusiastic musicians who entertained us on a wide variety of instruments across many genres of music. For 2027 we will be extending the evening to include spoken word entrants - poets, prose performers, rappers and more. The first week of our festival takes place at The Princess Theatre & Arts Centre in Burnham-on-Sea with the Speech & Drama and Dance Sections. We move to St John's Church, Highbridge for five days of Music during our second week.  Please visit our website for more information. Please note that the closing date for Dance entries will be Monday 14 December 2026.
