the new talent slot
As part of our commitment to the local community and local musical young talent we once again welcome students from the
local area to MantonFest.
Some will be acting as volunteers to support behind the scenes activities and others are performing on stage.
As many regular attendees will know we have given opportunities to many young talented people across the years and for 2025 we have retained the ‘ New Talent Slot’ to allow them to showcase their talents.
This is a great opportunity for them to have a festival performance experience at a safe and supportive event.
It was wonderful to see so many young people enjoy last year’s festival - music really does cross the generations.
So when the Students are on stage – pop down to the front of the stage and repay the compliment.
Back by popular demand this showcase of young talent incudes Jess Davis who some of you may have heard at the Christmas light switch on, Mills Houchin who made her first
appearance last year and back by very popular demand the return of Sammy Till-Vattier. Make sure you don’t miss this 12:15pm festival opener.
