Elmore Festival 5-8 August 2026

Returning from 5–8 August 2026, the Elmore Festival presents four days of exceptional performances in the intimate setting of St John the Baptist Church, a beautifully preserved 13th-century landmark nestled in rural Gloucestershire. Now in its seventh year, the festival has become a summer highlight, seamlessly blending world-class chamber music with the warmth of a community-driven event.

This year’s lineup features Trio Kagura, the award-winning Talland Quartet, pianists Kanako Mizuno and Victor Lim, double bassist Toby Hughes, clarinettist James Gilbert, organist Timothy Stewart, vocalist Immy Churchill alongside Scottie Thomson’s Jazz Trio, and accordionist Alise Siliņa. True to its roots, Elmore champions young musicians through workshops, masterclasses, and performance opportunities for local students.

Between concerts, audiences can unwind at the Festival Bar, serving local ales and ciders in partnership with Gloucester’s Pelican Inn and Wye Valley Brewery.

With its thoughtful programming, historic charm, and welcoming atmosphere, the Elmore Festival offers an enriching musical escape – small in scale, but rich in artistry.
