The Devizes Eisteddfod is an eight day festival of over 400 classes of music, speech, drama, dance, writing, art, photography, musical composition, pottery, ceramics, graphics and textiles for people of all ages, who may enter individually or through a school or group. There are competitive and non-competitive classes. It is held in Devizes, Wiltshire, England annually.
A huge WELL DONE to all the performers who took part in this year’s Music, Speech & Drama Festival! You have taken part in what has been, probably, the best Eisteddfod in the event’s 78-year history with six days of classes featuring everything from piano to electric guitar, Shakespeare to musical theatre, verse reading to ensembles.
Entries for Creative Arts classes are now open and will close on 31st January 2025.
