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.
Congratulations to all those performers who took part in our 2025 Dance Festival earlier this month. Dancers came from many different parts of the South West and our adjudicator, Kelly Hopkins, was most impressed with the high standards reached. Well done to all!
We now look forward to the climax of the 2025 Creative Arts Festival with the Presentation Ceremony for the winners on Thursday, 20 March in the Devizes Town Hall Assembly Room at 6.30pm. It’s been another bumper year for entries this time with 844 recorded submissions in 35 different classes. The results will be announced here on Friday, 7th March.
