The next festival will be 31 May to 5 June 2010. It is the 25th Year of the Penine Spring Music Festival ... and its Silver Jubilee! Pennine Spring Music is an annual Festival of recitals, musical workshops, rehearsals and performances, held every Spring Bank Holiday week in the beautiful mediæval hilltop village of Heptonstall. The Festival was founded in 1985 by Ian Harrold, and brings together amateur instrumentalists and singers from all over Britain for a week of convivial music-making and performing. Expert tuition is provided by the musical director and conductor. For those who want it, accommodation can be rented in local cottages, self-catering accommodation, and commercial premises. There is time to explore some of the most attractive walking country in England, driving further afield, as well as attending the Festival masterclasses and a range of concerts and recitals. The orchestral concerts in which participants perform take place on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evenings, with rehearsals starting on Monday. Tickets to those concerts are avilable here.
