Friends

At the heart of our musical community is a core group of wonderfully warm and supportive Festival Friends and higher level Supporters. Joining this group not only brings you the benefits of special access to tickets and exclusive out-of-season parties and special events but also enables us to continue to bring world-class artists to the Surrey Hills and to support up-and-coming young artists and educational initiatives.

We offer three different levels of membership (see below), and signing up couldn’t be easier – just click on this link!
