For more than 60 years Minehead has hosted an entire symphony orchestra for a week each summer. 60 to 70 first rate musicians come together from across the UK to perform outstanding concerts featuring internationally-renowned soloists.
The Festival is unique for its stunning location, for the dedication of its orchestra members, many of whom return year after year, and for the sense of community between the orchestra, its local hosts and its loyal and enthusiastic audience.
Join us in Minehead, between Exmoor and the sea, for a week of outstanding music.
A THOUSAND THANKS TO ALL WHO SUPPORTED OUR SUMMER 2026 BIG GIVE ARTS FOR IMPACT CAMPAIGN
Thanks to your generosity, the campaign raised £3,558 to boost Festival funds, helping us meet our costs each year, regardless of fluctuations in income. We can continue to programme our concerts with confidence, knowing that we can pay for expensive features such as instrument hire, and by building a strong contingency fund we can secure the Festival’s future for many years to come, enabling us to continue to bring top-quality orchestral performances to the Minehead and Exmoor area each summer.
Future Festival dates
