About Us

From household names to homegrown talent, The Festival’s aim over the years has always been to provide high quality performances that are accessible to all. As a not-for-profit organisation, we stage a huge range of creative activities to bring together diverse aspects of our community.

In 2025, we not only hosted lunches, wine tasting and a celebrity chef, but showcased live music from traditional to tributes, and presenting award-winning horror film and theatre performances. We brought to Wedmore world class authors and experts on the natural world to the royal family entertain and inform, along with internationally acclaimed Flamenco and comedy and stars from the small and big screen

As always, we celebrated village and community and the nurturing of local young talent. Ballet dancer Innes Oliver and musician Georgina Sweet took their first steps to stardom with our support. As our protégées grow, we provide a platform for them to not only perform but to give back to local schools, with workshops at Wedmore
First School and Hugh Sexey Middle School during the year.

We have also proudly donated to St Mary’s Church organ restoration fund, Wells Cathedral School travel bursaries fund, The Amber Trust (musical opportunities for blind and partially sighted children) and Music Therapy Support for a local child.

Wedmore Festival has been running for a quarter of a century, and we look forward to inspiring and entertaining generations to come!
