introducing young local musicians
Next Generation Talent
As part of our commitment to the local community and local young talent (and with the support of the Town Council) this year we again welcome a number of young local musicians to MantonFest.
As many regular attendees will know we have given opportunities to many young talented people across the years and following the success in 2023 of the ‘Three O’clock Development Slot’ we will again allow young local students to showcase their talents. This is a great opportunity for them to have a festival performance experience at a safe and supportive event.
It is wonderful to see so many young people enjoy the festival every year – music really does cross the generations.
Our young local musicians will be performing from 12.00pm
