Come to the Alnwick International Music Festival and let the world come to you!
Enjoy 8 days of music, song and dance from 4 to 11 August 2012
The Visit Alnwick website has details of travel and local accommodation.
Every year in early August, Alnwick is filled with the sounds and sights of the International Music Festival.
Eight days of passionate folk dancing, music and colourful costumes in the historic surroundings of Alnwick - a unique cultural experience!
Performances take place in the Market Place and other venues around the town - see the programme pages for further details.
The focus is firmly upon the teams of dedicated musicians and folk dancers - young and old - who have committed their time and talents to keep their own local folk traditions very much alive, and then travel to Alnwick to share in this colourful annual festival.
We look forward to welcoming friends old and new to Alnwick this summer... and hope that includes you!
The generous support of local businesses and individuals sponsoring the festival is much appreciated - as well as vital to the success of the event.

Our business and community supporters are also listed on the Performers page.
