July - October

This page contains a list of musical events taking place in Wymondham between the end of the Festival Fortnight and October. This list is probably not exhaustive - there’s always lots going on that we don’t necessarily get to hear about. If you know of a musical event that you’d like publicised here, please get in touch via our Contact Us page.

Events in blue type have been organised by the WMF committee. We look after all aspects, including ticketing (where appropriate), publicity etc. Other events, in black type, have been put on by other local societies, groups or individuals.
