The Festival is a registered charity, run for the benefit of the community, not for profit. For more than a century, the Festival has promoted music-making in and around Petersfield, bringing together local singers and instrumentalists of all ages to share the platform with visiting musicians of national and international standing. The Festival takes place mainly at the Petersfield Festival Hall, built for the purpose and officially opened in 1935, with some events at St Peter’s Church, Petersfield.
