Newcastle Festival is run entirely by unpaid volunteers. However, items such as professional adjudicators and venue hire need to be paid for and entry fees only partly cover the costs. Please consider making a donation. Become a FRIEND for £15+ or Become a PATRON for £30+ Each time we print a new programme, we list the names of Friends and Patrons who have made donations during the previous 12 months. You will also be sent a free programme, giving you free admission to the next festival. If you wish to Gift Aid your donation...... please use the CONTACT US button to get touch with our treasurer.

THE FESTIVAL
The festival is an opportunity for amateur competitors of all ages to perform in public and receive advice from experienced professional adjudicators. For some, the festival may be part of their preparation for examinations and perhaps a career, for others it is an extension of their absorbing interest in music-making and drama.
The festival is organised and staffed by a team of dedicated volunteers who give their time and enthusiasm to continue the festival tradition. It is great fun to be part of. If you would like to find out more about the many volunteer roles available please speak to any of the volunteers on the festival weekends or make contact through the website www.newcastlefestival.org.uk.
