Kickstart the 2021 Clifton Festival

Aim

Please join me and make a difference? Every donation will help. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much

With a heavy heart we’ve had to cancel our 2020 events: help us kickstart next year’s festival.

Clifton International Festival of Music is Bristol's annual festival of world class classical music. Our mission is to bring you the best of music old and new, to inspire, enchant and delight you. 

We've hosted a festival every year since 2013, welcoming thousands of people to hear some of the world's leading artists including The King's Singers, The Tallis Scholars and The Sixteen, as well as showcasing some of the most exciting new performers, including FIGO baroque and the award-winning Erebus Ensemble.

We really need your help...

Like lots of organisations, we’ve had to cancel this year’s festival events because of the Coronavirus outbreak. 

We’re a small charity and rely on the generosity of people who buy tickets and donate to meet our costs every year.

And although we can’t welcome you to events this summer, we’ve already spent over £2,000 getting ready for the 2020 festival. 

While our suppliers have been amazingly kind, we’ve still lost thousands of pounds that we can’t reclaim on our insurance.

Without your help we’ll struggle to make it - and your support will make a huge impact. 

We know that the current situation is affecting everyone in different ways, but if you are in a position to help we would be incredibly grateful for any donation you can make.

...because we need music more than ever right now
