Wymondham Music Festival 2008

From May through to July and beyond, there’s a whole summer of music in the lively market town of Wymondham. This year, there are over 70 events listed in the full summer programme.

The highlight is the Festival Fortnight - the core of our festival. For 2008 this runs from Saturday 21 June to Sunday 6 July. During these two weeks there is a huge range of music on offer - the Midsummer Jazz Picnic, daytime and evening concerts, gigs, workshops and lots more for all the family in a varied mix of folk, pop, classical, crossover, world and jazz.

Many events are FREE. For ticketed events the prices are as low as possible with some great discount schemes this year, especially for children.

THE 2008 PROGRAMME IS NOW AVAILABLE!

On a sunny Saturday morning, the 2008 Wymondham Music Festival programme was launched by weatherman Jim Bacon. Jim lives locally and is enthusiastic about the festival and its wide range of events – nearly 90 are listed in this year’s programme. Jazz band Red Beans ‘n Rice provided music throughout the morning, and their keynote umbrellas – a feature of New Orleans bands –were eagerly seized by members of the audience for some lively dancing before a large and appreciative crowd.

The free programme is now available from Wymondham library and the Tourist Information Centre, as well as shops, pubs and other outlets in the town. Within the next couple of weeks it will also be available throughout South Norfolk. If you have difficulty getting a copy, then contact us - click here to find out how.
