The Kemble Spring Music Festival started in 2004 from plans to raise money for our local church and has grown into a series of events to allow all members of the local community to appreciate what Kemble has to offer. Ticket prices including refreshments are kept at modest levels to encourage as much participation as possible.

Funds raised will go to local causes, such as the village hall and to the church, to allow continued support of a number of worthwhile causes. Last year these included support for local youth activities, national and international charity work, and of course AG and Kate,  The church itself has ongoing maintenance concerns and might otherwise be forced to reduce its financial support for other worthwhile causes:  the festival provides a means of demonstrating a practical approach to charitable work.

We would be grateful for all donations, whether money, raffle prizes or refreshments, for specific events or purposes or general support.  Please make any cheques payable to "Kemble Spring Music Festival".

Many thanks to those sponsors who have already shown their support and finally to the many local residents who have also made generous contributions.
