PETWORTH FESTIVAL

Dear Friends,

A very Happy New Year from the Petworth Festival team!

It has to be said that an exciting year awaits. Please save the dates across the year as we hope and expect to be bringing you some absolutely superb events across our three annual events – the Petworth Proms, the 46^th (no less!) Petworth Summer Festival and the 15^th Petworth Literary Festival.

You will have noticed that the Petworth Proms have leapfrogged to the front this year. This wonderfully-received event premiered last Autumn will enjoy its second iteration in May when, together with our friends from the National Trust/Petworth House and a group of fabulously talented musicians from the Royal Academy of Music, we will again be staging a three-day sequence of performances, but this time taking advantage of al fresco drinks variously on Petworth House’s lawn and the main courtyard. What’s not to like!?

And then there’s the summer festival – and then there’s the literary festival! As I say, do please save the dates and watch this space. As ever there will be so much to savour over the year, and increasingly the early birds are catching the worm. A lot of events tend to sell out quickly.

Greetings to all of you from all of us,

Stewart Collins and the Petworth Festival team
