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. The festival is not yet completely over with two spectacular concerts to come: a Junior Showcase on Saturday, 23 November and the Festival Concert a week later on 30 November. Both events to be held in the Devizes Town Hall Assembly Room at 7pm. Tickets: £5 (students free) now on sale at Devizes Books. Any unsold tickets will be available for sale on the door on the night.
