Welcome to the2018 Winchfield FestivalRegistered Charity No. 1079073

The Winchfield Festival was founded in 1990 to pay for a complete overhaul of thechurch organ. The Festival is held in mid-June every other year in the heart of Winchfield,one of the best-preserved Domesday settlements in the South East of England.Winchfield’s fine Norman Church (St Mary’s) provides the centre-piece for the Festival,with the Festival Marquee, food and beer tents and parking accommodated in thesurrounding fields.

The Winchfield Festival aims to encourage the enjoyment of music in the community,and, thanks to the generosity of our Principal Benefactors (The Emmanuel KayeFoundation and The Beryl Sleigh Trust) and the Festival Friends, we are able to support anOutreach Programme. The Outreach Programme includes concerts in local schools andclubs; free tickets for young people for some of the Festival concerts; and a special ‘Jamie’sConcert’ for the carers of autistic people given by Noriko Ogawa. Details of the OutreachProgramme are provided for each concert in the following pages.

The Winchfield Festival has developed a well-earned reputation for providing excellentchamber music played by world-class musicians in the intimate but informal setting of StMary’s. Besides chamber music, the Winchfield Festival also provides a wide range ofother musical genres in the Festival Marquee.

Please make sure you order your tickets in good time, as space is limited (especially in theChurch) and concerts are often booked out well before June. You can order your ticketsonline at www.winchfieldfestival.org.

We look forward to seeing you in June.
