Welcome to Beaminster Festival Website

Set amidst the rolling hills of West Dorset, very near the Jurassic coast, the small but vibrant town of Beaminster plays host to the annual Beaminster Festival of music, theatre, literature and art.

Greetings for the coming Festive Season

The Beaminster Festival Trustees and Committee would like to take this opportunity of thanking all our Sponsors, Donors, Friends, Volunteers and audience for their continued support.

2025 saw a very successful and happy festival and the recent autumn concert with the Jess Gillam Trio truly demonstrated the feeling of exhilaration and enjoyment that live music and the arts can bring to each and every one of us.

We would like to take this early opportunity to wish you all a very (early) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Treat yourself to a picture and support the Festival!

Rosie and Roger Britton have recently moved to Beaminster from the wilds of Powerstock and Rosie has very kindly decided to sell some her paintings and drawings, donating the proceeds to 2 charities with which she has a close association.  Rosie has long been a supporter of the Festival and we are most grateful for this very generous gesture.

Do please visit her Exhibition on 6th and 7th December at 2 The Orchard, Newtown, DT8 3FF and treat yourself to an early Christmas present.
