About the Festival

Raglan Music Festival is a not for profit community event open to visitors and performers of all ages and musical tastes. Now in its fourth year the Festival continues to grow in size, scope and quality featuring a wide range of musical styles from Rock to Blues, Jazz, Classical, Choral, Children's Workshops and Open Jam sessions.

The Festival's Charter aims to actively encourage the performance of live music in all its forms. To help achieve this Raglan Music Festival has set up the annual Raglan Festival Rhydian Avent bursary to pay for music lessons for three young people from the local community.

In December 2007 the Festival received a prestige award for the "Best overall Marketing Strategy" for an event in Monmouthshire.

The Festival is funded through a combination of ticket sales, sponsorship, grants and donations.
