The Festival in 2018 will run from Saturday 23rd June to Saturday 30th June. The 2018 Festival will be our 21st Festival since its revival in 1998; evidence from the Bradfield Parish archives shows that a music festival was held in the Parish Church on Whit Monday in 1813, 1825 and 1835. Little did those festival organisers of 200 years ago know that a week-long festival would be happening in the same church today.
The Bradfield Festival of Music, a registered charity, does not receive any national funding whatsoever but does receive limited financial assistance from generous local business sponsors, local charities, and individual supporters.
Festival 2018 promises to be another very special concert series with an array of outstanding international musicians and vocalists. All of our year’s artistes have appeared at one or more of the world’s most prestigious venues and we are privileged that they have chosen to support this Festival.
Bradfield is a picturesque village 8 miles north-west of Sheffield city centre, and is within the boundary of the Peak District National Park. The Parish Church of St. Nicholas, where the concerts take place, is a spectacular medieval, Grade 1 Listed Building blessed with excellent acoustics – it is featured in a recently published book on the 100 best churches in Britain.
