About Wymondham Music Festival

Music for everyone . . .

Our annual music festival, founded in 1996, takes place in the lively market town of Wymondham, Norfolk, famous for its glorious Benedictine abbey church, distinctive Market Cross and many other visitor attractions.

Throughout the summer . . .

There is a huge range of music on offer - evening concerts, daytime recitals, gigs, workshops, the Midsummer Jazz Picnic down by the river Tiffey, Town Busking Day and lots of other live music in the Market Place and at venues around the town.

Supporting local musicians . . .

Most of our artists live and work in Norfolk. We provide top quality performances from professional musicians, show-case local talent and promote our many excellent music societies.

Stop Press

We’v now sold out of tickets for the Jacqui Dankworth concert. We’re very sorry of you’ve missed out on an opportunity to hear this wonderful singer, but not surprisingly the tickets have been snapped up at the price we were selling them for. There may be some returns on the night, but we cannot promise, so we wouldn’t advise you to travel any distance on the off chance - we’d hate you to be disappointed. There are still ticketsavailable for all our other events.

Bizarre goings-on in Wymondham

Wymondham’s annual busking day, held on a sunny Bank Holiday week-end at the end of May, was the usual mix of guitars, drums, harmonicas and other assorted musical instruments.

And a skip...

The Wymondham Avant Garde Society brought along a skip and gave a striking percussion performance that intrigued and puzzled in equal measure.
