Our 2024 summer season will run from Friday 21 June to Sunday 14 July, with performances by world-leading artists across orchestral, chamber, soloists, choral, jazz and folk music, in the beautiful surroundings of Thaxted and its spacious Parish Church. It will include celebrations of the 150th anniversary year of the birth of Gustav Holst, whose Whitsuntide Festivals in Thaxted Church 1916-1918 are the inspiration for today’s Thaxted Festival.

Visit our Events Page to see previews of all our main season events. In addition, there will be an extensive programme of Festival Extras throughout the four weeks of the Festival.

General booking for our summer season opens on 18 March 2024, and before that date Thaxted Music Lovers have priority booking from 19 February.
