The Festival provides a platform for everyone in our community to showcase their skills and abilities, whether that is in philosophy, classics, sport, maths, art, drama, dance or music. It will also hopefully provide our leavers with the opportunity to go out with a bang and many happy memories.
WELCOME
There are over 36 events this year, including rock, contemporary dance, break dancing, drama and even some Shakespeare in the woods. I hope that whether you are parents, friends or visitors, you will find something to delight and entertain you as we celebrate the conclusion of another memorable year here at Dauntsey’s.
