Each year we run a friendly harp festival designed to be a great way to gain experience of performing and competitive playing, eat cake and make awesome friends! Last year due to Covid-19 we put our festival online and were thrilled with the amazing music sent in.
(You can catch up on last years videos here!)
We have opportunities to compete for all ages and abilities. (Please see the categories below.) 
You can apply from 1st December 2021 and you must enter your video before the deadline of 31st January 2022. This video will then be released on Youtube at the time scheduled below. It will then be judged by our adjudicator at the end of each video - Adjudicator TBC.
The results of the competition will be released at the end of all the videos being published.
​For more information about how to submit your video please look below.
​You will receive a competition participation sheet through the post/email (were working out the finer details) as well as some awesome prize for each category - sponsored by PoppyHarp and Jack Hayward Insurance!
Submissions are £3 each and you can submit as many videos to as many categories as you like.
