About the Don Valley Festival

Since 1912, the Don Valley Festival has been a joyful celebration of creativity at the heart of Doncaster. Welcoming performers of all ages, the Festival provides an encouraging platform to share talents in music, drama, art, and photography.

Each class is adjudicated by an experienced professional, giving every performer valuable feedback to help them grow and develop their skills. Far more than a traditional festival, it is a supportive competition that celebrates achievement, creativity, and confidence within a warm community atmosphere.
