I was fortunate to be invited to Taylor’s Bell Foundry in Loughborough the other day to witness the production of two new bells for the Festival’s main concert venue - St. Andrew’s in Grinton. 

On Sunday 15 May 2016, there will be a special concert at Tennants Garden Rooms in Leyburn entitled RHAPSODY  by the award winning Hull Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Andrew Penny MBE. 

Top choral composer/director Will Todd leads an enjoyable day of singing at Swaledale Festival's latest Big Sing Day.

We are delighted to find a major artist at this year's Festival, and two others who have previously appeared here, listed in this year's Honours granted by the prestigious Royal Academy of Music.
