Overview
Organise an annual Festival of Music (last week in June) and present two annual awards to young musicians.
Further Information
The Bradfield Festival of Music was revived in 1998 - evidence from the Bradfield Parish archives shows that a Music Festival was held in the Parish Church on Whit Monday in 1813, 1825 and 1835. The revived festival is now a week-long event, held during the last full week in June. Its aim is to bring to this rural part of Sheffield a variety of musicians that includes professional artists with a national reputation as well as the best of local amateur groups, and give an opportunity for young musicians to perform in public.
Following the revival, we achieved the Duke of York Community Initiative award in 1999, 2003 and again in 2007
Bradfield is a picturesque village 8 miles north-west of Sheffield city centre, and is within the boundary of the Peak District National Park. The Parish Church of St. Nicholas, where the concerts take place, is a spectacular medieval, Grade 1 Listed Building blessed with excellent acoustics - it is featured in a recently published book on the 100 best churches in Britain.
