Welcome

The Thanet Music and Drama Festival was founded as a charity in 1921, and each year offers a platform for hundreds of amateur musicians, actors and dancers in and around the Thanet area to perform in front of an audience and gain expert critical advice.

The festival consists of five sections (Instrumental, Speech & Drama, Piano, Dance, Vocal & Choral) and is held in February to March every year, culminating in an Award Ceremony & Gala Concert featuring some of the best performances from all sections.

Friends, relations and the "general public" also benefit be being able to come and watch... not only are there hours of quality performances, but many of the adjudications amount to something akin to a Masterclass, all for a very modest entrance fee for each event... or why not become a Friend of the Festival and get a pass for EVERYTHING (approximately 100 hours / 1500 performances), for just £15 per person!
