Event description
After a successful inaugural event in 2024, Brass Bands England’s new National Youth Brass Band Festival, Youth Fest, is set to remain a regular feature of the youth banding calendar. The 2025 edition of Youth Fest takes place on Friday 4 July 2025, at artsdepot in North Finchley, London.
About Youth Fest
Youth Fest is a new, non-competitive brass festival created by Brass Bands England. The event aims to celebrate success and participation in music, inspire and engage young people in an inclusive environment, and encourage personal and musical progression.
The event is a non-competitive performance opportunity for people who are part of a school or youth band. As well as performance opportunities, the free band entry includes participation in BBE Brass Foundations workshops and access to the auditorium to listen to other participating bands.
Tickets
Youth Fest tickets are just £5 per public session (under 18s go free) making it a great value day out for families, teachers and local music fans
