Oops!

The published date of the Championship is WRONG!

The date is 4th September 2027 – not 11th

A reality check at the BIFF Regional forum today revealed a mismatch of dates.
And Mastermind here got it wrong.  We are just double-checking with the venue (we had originally booked 11th September but this was not possible for the Conservatoire) so the date of 4th September will be confirmed for certain – so keep watching this space, both to be certain of the date and to find out what penance is to be demanded of the dumb admin guy who got it wrong.

The Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire Regional Forum is happening today.

Held at Linthwaite, this time, the Festivals from around our large region are meeting at the home of the Haydn Wood Festival to share news, information and ideas.  They will be hearing of the plans for the Championship and learning how to nominate their star performer in each of the three disciplines.

Book the date! Saturday 11th September 2027 at the Leeds Conservatoire.

The Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire Regional Championship 2027 is already on the blocks!

The format will be very similar to last year’s superb event.  Festivals in our region are invited to nominate their favourite performer from a Festival held in the 2026/7 season.
One performer from each discipline may be nominated and we are then treated to a magnificent day of music, speech and dance at the Leeds Conservatoire.

Put the date in your diaries:  Saturday 11th September 2027

The nominations for the Championship are now open.  Any Festival held from now till July 31st 2027 may send up to three performers (one from each discipline).  Notes for the sponsoring Festivals and a nomination form are available on the Championship page
