We are delighted to announce the programme for the 2025 English Music Festival, which can be viewed in full on this page. This year, all our events will once again be held in Dorchester-on-Thames, with the concerts taking place in the glorious surroundings of Dorchester Abbey and the talks in the historic Village Hall. EMF Friends’ booking will open on 1 March, general booking opening two weeks later, on 15 March.

We have recently introduced a new tier to our Friends’ Scheme for Corporate Friends — so, if you own, or help to run, a company or a similar organisation, and would like to enjoy the special benefits that this tier offers, please do consider joining at this level. For more details about our Friends’ Scheme, please follow this link for a description of the tiers and their benefits, together with information about how to join.
