Highlights from the first ever Clowne Youth Music Festival

What an amazing day we had on 27th June 2026. What began as an idea of the Rector’s earlier this year morphed into a fantastic day celebrating the talented young people of Clowne. We also raised £900 for church funds!

Thank you so much to The Zebedees and John Tansley for providing the sound system and headlining our festival with a great acoustic set.

Thanks to all the performers from Jessica Steele Studios

Thanks to the solo artists: Sophie Welsh, Ollie Welsh, Hollie-Rose, Keira Mae and Matt Alsop.

Thanks to Clowne Local History Society for the exhibition and to our stall holders.

Thanks to Pat and Kath and team for lovely refreshments and Old School Taphouse for providing the bar.

Huge thanks to Clowne Parish Church choir and Suzanne Blagg for performing and allowing people to try playing the organ.

Thanks to Andrew Wilson for the drone shots.

Massive thanks to all our church volunteers, especially Roger Street , Sue Lewis and Mick Lewis for all the hard work setting up and clearing up.

Thanks to Clowne Parish Council for lending us the staging.

It was a wonderful event, the first time we’ve ever put on a music festival and it was a great success, roll on next year!

We definitively proved that CLOWNE’S GOT TALENT!
