28 MAY to 11 JUNE 2022
A huge thank you to all the artists, volunteers, sponsors and audiences who helped create the 50th-anniversary Swaledale Festival.
From Handel’s Messiah filling the heights of Ripon Cathedral, to brass, strings, woodwind, piano, percussion and vocals resounding in the chapels and churches of the Dales, to a folk fest in a cowshed - we got back to live performances in full venues, and we loved it. Read more.
If you attended this year's Festival, we would appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to complete an online survey about your Festival experience - it helps us to report back to our funders and plan future years (plus you can choose to be entered into a prize draw to win a pair of tickets to any event in Swaledale Festival 2023!). The survey is open till 5 July - to participate, please click here.
Swaledale Festival 2023 will run from 27 May to 10 June.
In the meantime, here's a pictorial journey through this year’s Festival.
The film was made by Howell Film and features music from a track called Bling Bling from the album Plum Lane by The Matt Wates Sextet. The piece was written and arranged by Matt Wates.
