Event Now Past
English Music Festival, Dartington
On 22nd May 2026 to 25th May 2026
The 2026 English Music Festival will be held in the fabulous venue of Dartington Hall - Dartington village is very close to Totnes. Concerts will take place in the mediaeval Great Hall and talks in the Ship Studio.
Dartington is immensely appropriate for the EMF, being steeped in the history of English music, but the beautiful and atmospheric location, set as it is in gorgeous rolling hills with riverside walks, will enhance the experience!
The full programme is now available.
Reviews
- Trip back in time - What a fantastic experience. The train ride from Paignton is a gentle trip with stunning views. Arriving in Kingswear you can almost imagine how people in days gone by must have felt. A short ferry ride takes you into Dartmouth which is a stunning little town.
- Steam train - Great little day out - highly recommended. The boat trip up the dart was very good with the captain guiding us and the steam train was great for kids too.
- An A+ family experience! - >Excellent time< We arrived at the station to friendly welcome and were greeted by a jolly bloke who gave us an upgrade to a cabin on our own which made us feel like Harry Potter! He gave us lots of info about timings and what amount of time we had been given to allow us to make sure we got back okay. A great time.
