2021 Festival Programme
We’re delighted to announce that the festival will return to Lasham this summer . Due to the current restrictions in place we’ll be proceeding on the basis that this will be a socially-distanced festival. Audience safety is paramount and I hope you will remain understanding if we remain cautious in our approach.
Most programmes will be roughly an hour in length with no interval and as a result we’ll be offering multiple showings of certain concerts to enable more opportunities for our audiences to attend as we’ll be operating at reduced capacity. Ticketing will be slightly different this year and take place exclusively through email & our phone line, full details below.
