Southwell Music Festival takes place each August Bank Holiday weekend and attracts audiences totalling over 3,500 people. The Festival was founded by Artistic Director Marcus Farnsworth in 2014 and achieves high critical acclaim for its performances. The programme is a mix of choral, orchestral and chamber music, plus jazz and folk, all performed by renowned professional soloists, singers and musicians.

Join us for our very first Palace Session concert in October, and we’re back in December for our annual Christmas Celebration.
Southwell Music Festival 2027 will take place across the August Bank Holiday Weekend. Programme details and booking dates will be announced in early 2027.
