Britain's What's On Event Guide
Graffham Festival 2024
Graffham Festival 2024 takes place from Friday 14 June to Sunday 23 June - in the beautiful West Sussex village of Graffham, in the heart of the South Downs between Midhurst and Petworth. This will feature concerts, a floral celebration in the church, an artists’ studios trail, open gardens, films, a talk by arguably Britain’s top sculptor, painting and singing, cabaret, a revue, children’s activities and much more – something for all ages and tastes.
Among the top music names booked are the Benedetti Foundation Ambassador String Quartet, Future Talent’s young musicians, top folk duo Noble Jacks and an American Songbook cabaret trio. The world of theatre is represented by Shake It Up Shakespeare, while internationally renowned sculptor Philip Jackson share secrets from his workshop.

Many of the events will be offering teas, coffees, cakes, beers, wines, Pimms and soft drinks with some featuring food too.
Graffham is generally regarded as one of West Sussex’s most photogenic, unspoilt and archetypal villages, nestling in the lee of one of the highest points of the South Downs and with its population of only around 500 today forming a vibrant community.
It has long held a reputation for punching well above its weight in the fields of the arts, craftwork, music, writing and gardening. Across the centuries, many of Britain’s best known exponents in these fields have called the village home.
Its festival, held in recent times every two years, is a way for its community today to celebrate their talents and enjoy performances by noted visitors. This year’s 10-day extravaganza will be its first since before the pandemic.
