It is with sadness that we announce the cancellation of our 2020 Piano festival in October due to COVID-19. Our festival has operated consecutively without a break for 113 years and so you will appreciate that this decision was not taken lightly.

We will now focus on a wonderful festival in 2021 and ask for your continued support.

Our new syllabus will be available in March 2021. Watch this space for further updates.

Message from Ivy Wales, the organiser of the Wharfedale Festival of Performing Arts Dance Championship, dated 28th March 2020.

It is with great sadness and regrets that I am no longer able to lead the WFPA Dance Championship due to ill health. My small committee team also decided to step down at the same time.

I would like to thank everyone for their help and support these last few years. It is very much appreciated.
