The White Horse Festival is a new classical and cross-genre festival for the area, with the first in October this year. Taking place in seven locations around the Marlborough area, the Festival is a registered charity which believes in bringing innovative, fresh programming to more rural communities like ours, outside of London.

They have ensured there is something for everyone, from live, interactive children’s sessions, a fine dining, song and wine themed evening, to jazz at the Ridgeway Barns and more. As well as the gorgeous local venues, they are partnering with James Graham, Michelin-starred Chef at the Bell, Georgie Weedon Art, David Homer Farming and more, while bringing internationally-renowned, exciting artists to our area. Their Artistic Director is Hilary Davan Wetton and artists include South Korean pianist Seonghyeon Leem making her UK solo debut at Wick Bottom Barn in Rockley, soprano Hilary Cronin, trumpeter Crispian Steele-Perkins and jazz artist Jo Harrop and her band. The Festival has a nature theme; they believe that the beautiful natural landscapes and rural ecosystems around us should be celebrated and complement our musical experiences.
