About
Elmore Festival is a small-scale chamber music festival run out of St John the Baptist Church in Elmore — a Norman village church on the Severn plain west of Gloucester, on the edge of the Cotswold escarpment. Now organised and programmed by a rotating team of young professional musicians, it runs 5–8 August 2026 with a four-day programme mixing established chamber repertoire, young-artist concerts and a Festival Jazz Evening.
2026 highlights: Trio Kagura (Wed 5 Aug, 7pm), Young Pianists Concert and Kanako Mizuno masterclass (Thu 6 Aug), Toby Hughes / Victor Lim / James Gilbert (Thu 6 Aug, 7pm), Timothy Stewart organ recital and 'A Taste of the Region' with the Festival Jazz Evening (Fri 7 Aug), Alise Siliņa accordion recital and the closing Talland Quartet with Petr Prause and Toby Hughes (Sat 8 Aug).
Ticket booking via the festival website. The setting is small and intimate — book early.
