Each year, across four weekends in June-July, our small North Essex town of Thaxted hosts a major Festival which draws audiences from a wide area to enjoy performances by professional artists of national and international standing.

​Our 2018 Festival got off to a flying start last weekend. On Friday, Thaxted Church was filled with choirs led by Armonico for the first performance of a rich programme of polyphony.

​This year, for the first time, we are delighted to be able to extend our project work in education to a local secondary school, the Joyce Frankland Academy in Newport, during June, as well as working with Thaxted Primary School in July.
