Established in 1968, the Milton Keynes Festival of the Arts is an educational charity run on a self-funding basis by a small committee of unpaid volunteers, with the objective of providing a safe and constructive performance platform for amateur performers of all ages and levels of experience.

The festival is open to all amateur performers of all ages and levels of experience, and you do not have to live in Milton Keynes to take part. Parents or teachers may enter junior performers on their behalf.
