Worksop Music Festival is held in March every year, culminating in an Award Ceremony and Prize Winners Concert featuring some of the best performances from all sections.
Originally called The North Notts Music Competitions, Worksop Music and Drama Festival was founded in 1904 “for the continuation of good music and brightening of village life”. It served the area of North Nottinghamshire known as The Dukeries, and continues to attract entrants from this area and beyond, including Sheffield, Doncaster, Nottingham, Lincolnshire and Derbyshire.
The 2026 festival will be held on Saturday 7th, Sunday 8th, Friday 13th, Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th March 2026, with the Celebration of Music Concert being held on Wednesday 29th April at 7.00pm at The Crossing Worksop. There are a variety of classes, which can be entered including solo and ensemble, instrumental and vocal. The closing date for entries is Friday 23rd January 2026. Please see the music festival website, https://worksopmusicfestival.co.uk, for more details and to enrol for any classes you wish to enter.
Everyone is welcome to go along and listen to the wide range of musical talent in our area.
