Cuckfield MusicFest
17-20th June 2021
Our second festival takes place from 17th – 20th June 2021. In view of Covid-19 restrictions, this year’s Festival will be smaller and shorter than originally intended, and will now comprise six events over the four days. The performers will be either soloists or trios, and audience seating will be in accordance with the regulations required at the time. We remain indebted to Katie Derham who has kindly agreed to continue as our Patron.
Cuckfield Music Festival 17th – 20th June 2021
All the plans for a full-scale Music Festival were torpedoed by Covid-19 and its offspring. Instead there will be five events over four days mainly involving performers who are, or have been, Cuckfield residents. They will appear as soloists, duos or trios, and we anticipate that some form of social-distancing audiences will still be in force.

All events take place at Holy Trinity Church, Cuckfield (RH17 5JZ).
Thursday 17th June – Lunchtime recital, 1pm: Hannah Corcoran, modern and classical saxophonist.

Promotional Event 26th March 2021 at 19:30
We are immensely grateful to Pavlos Carvalho, George Angelopoulos, Andria Antoniou and George Stamatis for the wonderful recital on 26th March this year. Judging from the many reactions we had, as well as the running online commentary, this was a source of great pleasure for everyone who attended.
We then want to say a very warm thank you to everybody who donated – all generously and some super generously! It is greatly appreciated and valued, as helping us to ensure the Music Festival in June.
This performance will be made available online soon.
