The Pennine Spring Music Festival brings together instrumentalists and singers for a week of convivial music-making and performing. A varied programme of concerts is performed during the Spring Bank Holiday week in the 150 year old church at Heptonstall, an idyllic hill-top village perched above the vibrant town of Hebden Bridge.The festival provides a fantastic opportunity for people looking for musical nourishment and satisfaction, offering a choice of Choral, Orchestral or other courses.

The orchestra and chorus perform joint public concerts during the week. There are daily rehearsals which are led by highly-skilled music professionals who would greatly enrich members' musical experience. The participating members bring trade to the local area for refreshments and accommodation.

We provide bursaries for music students to rehearse and gain performance experience together with more experienced orchestral players and choral singers. Rehearsal days vary between 3 and 6 hours long, including sectional coaching which develops a tight-knit and responsive ensemble.
