Hexham Abbey Festival of Music and Arts
It may be approaching its 60th anniversary, but this well established "jewel in the crown" of the North East's cultural calendar has been rejuvenated since 2007 under Artistic Director Graham Coatman. High calibre international artists such as Steven Osborne, Antonio Forcione, Gilad Atzmon and the Hilliard Ensemble regularly head the concert programmes.
The Festival provides a vibrant wide ranging 10-day programme of music in late September - early October, featuring classical, choral, jazz, folk, early and world music, plus film, theatre, poetry & exhibitions. Important recent developments include introduction of the Young Artist Platform, the "Spirit of Hexham" street festival and an expanding education & community programme.
