Every day
Venue
The University's multi-million pound Martin Harris Centre for Music and Drama is the base for the 4-day extravaganza of student creativity. The spacious Cosmo Rodewald Concert Hall, and intimate John Thaw Studio Theatre host all the concerts, but don't be surprise if you are serenaded from anywhere at anytime! (click here for a map).
Beyond the Concert Hall
Now we wouldn’t like to let the Martin Harris Centre lie quiet anytime throughout the four days, so the crowds will be treated to string quartets, cabaret songs and a host of other ensembles and soloists around the building.

The Estival Bar
Serving alcoholic and non-alcoholic refreshments, the Estival bar has been specially erected for the festival in the Martin Harris Centre. Complete with an area for live music, the bar area will be the hub of the festival: a great place to chill out, meet young local musicians and artists, and of course have a drink before concerts.
