We are sad to announce that our Festival President, Eileen Parkhouse, passed away peacefully on 8 April aged 96. We’re sure our patrons and all those associated with the Festival would like to join us in offering our sincere condolences to Eileen’s family and remembering her outstanding contribution to The Shaldon Festival and to chamber music. Shaldon Festival Committee See ‘About Us’ for background information.

Following the guidance from the Government and Public Health England, the Shaldon Festival Committee regret to inform you that our concert season in June 2020 will be cancelled. The safety of our audience and performers is our priority in this unprecedented time of Coronavirus (Covid-19). As a charity, we appreciate your support and understanding, and we look forward to welcoming you back when restrictions have been lifted. In the meantime, please take care of yourselves and each other.
