Cuckfield Music Festival is a Registered Charity which exists to bring a programme of musical events to Mid-Sussex, working with professional,
semi-professional and amateur musicians, schools and colleges, to encourage people of all ages to engage with and perform live music.
Cuckfield Music Festival – A Wonderful Week of Music!
What a fantastic week it’s been for music in Cuckfield! Over 500 people joined us at Holy Trinity Church and Whiteman’s Green to enjoy a wonderfully diverse range of performances. From beautiful vocals and piano pieces to lively Latin guitar, pop hits, Baroque classics, and timeless big band tunes—there truly was something for everyone.
This year marked the first festival under our new Musical Director, Mark Travers, who curated the exciting and eclectic programme. Many audience members experienced something completely new—such as music written for the bass clarinet, a captivating four-hands piano performance, and the premiere of two brand-new compositions.
Our very own Cuckfield community was proudly represented by the Singing Allsorts Choir, and we were deeply grateful for the many dedicated volunteers who made the festival possible. It would not be possible to run the music festival – especially the free lunchtime concerts – without the generous donations we received from our sponsors, the loyal Friends of Cuckfield Music Festival, and audience members kindly donating at the events. Thank you all.
We’re always on the lookout for more helping hands! If you’d like to be part of the next festival, and spread the joy of live music, please don’t hesitate to reach out via the contact page on our website.
