Children's Art Exhibition

Saturday 3rd May 10am - 3pm and Sunday 4th May 12.30 - 2.30 pm.

Our theme this year is ‘Four Seasons’.

The Art Exhibition is an exciting project now in it’s 6th Year, bringing together all the children’s creative works of art to the Connect Methodist Church.

 Burbage Festival have once again supported this project to enable over 500 children to have a ‘hands on’ art experience.

Everyone can come along and enjoy the displays… and have refreshments too!

Ukuladies (playing at Connect Methodist Church) 11- 12pm Saturday 3rd May.

"We are four friends who each bought a ukulele (or 2) and began meeting on an informal basis to have some fun playing together. It turned out that people quite liked what we did and we were invited to play our first ‘gig’ at a fundraiser in a back garden. We then decided to form a little group and the Ukuladies was born. Since 2022 we have become regular visitors at various nursing homes and other venues across the region and in doing so have raised several hundred pounds for good causes.

Having fun is still at the heart of what we do and we are delighted to have been invited to be part of Burbage Festival this year.

We love playing together and so do others it would seem….

"A time of music, singing & fun by four  talented ladies, who gave a very enjoyable presentation of songs from the last 50+ years, with lots of participation by a very enthusiastic audience. Not to be missed! Invite them to sing at your event - you won't be disappointed!”

Be sure to also visit the Burbage Yarn Bomb in Pugh's Paddock, Grove Road which is open to all and is running from 10 to 3pm PM on Saturday 3rd May.

Farmers Market. Saturday 3rd May

We have a wide variety of musical performances lined up for this year's festival, and are pleased to be kicking off our 2025 program with a local  singer/songwriter Benji Williams, at the Farmers' Market just in front of Connect, between 10am and 12 pm. 

Benji is renowned for his powerful and soulful vocals, beautiful guitar tones and wide repertoire to suit every need. He distinguishes himself from other musicians through the use of loop pedals and sound effects.

Also at the Farmers' Market, come and say "hello" to some of the Burbage Festival Team, too (lurking under a bright yellow gazebo somewhere...).

Refreshments and loos in Connect, too!
