All About
The event
Faith Ponsonby, Festival Chairperson said: “Many of us are desperate for live music & performing arts to return to the stage and really chase away the blues of COVID.
So, Havant Music Festival is back at last after over 2 years of waiting, to give you a taster of much more to come in the future.
Havant Music Festival was founded in 2017, but after growing in popularity for 3 seasons, Covid halted live music. Now we are here again, giving local talent a chance to share their love of music in this corner of Havant.
The ambition of the festival commitee, if there are funds left, is to help young people discover music and music-making and nurture their talents, perhaps helping them on their way
with grants.
The objectives of the Havant Music Festival are:
To showcase and promote the talents of the community and local music scene.
To bring accessible music to residents living in the South-East corner of the Borough of Havant.
To encourage children and young people to experience performing arts and being part of a festival.
To raise awareness of Dementia and the many benefits of using music to improve mental health and well-being, aiding communication and self-expression within a care setting, and for reminiscing.
The intention is to be non-profit making, so ticket prices, especially for young people, are kept low. The Festival will need to build funds to seed corn future festivals and create opportunities for accessible music, and also may choose to support charities and local music groups in the Borough.
