Welcome to Ballymena Festival

The complete 2022 Music, Speech and Drama Programme can be seen/downloaded here

The Festival normally takes place during February and March in the new Braid Arts Centre in Ballymena which has modern facilities for most major performing arts. The Festival provides a wide opportunity for performers at all stages of music, speech, drama and dance. A Gala takes placeon the Saturday evening following the Music classes and features performances from classes across the Festival.

In making plans to run Ballymena Festival in 2022, the Committee was aware of continuing uncertainty regarding relaxation of Covid 19 social distancing guidelines. We therefore planned to allow entries to be submitted until 30th November 2021 without payment. Payment has now been made for these entries and the Programme is available from the Festival Details menu above or by clicking here.

Please note that the Section Secretaries, at their discretion, reserve the right to cancel or combine classes to ensure the most efficient running of the Festival.
