Bath International Festival of Music and Arts

This annual three-week festival runs from late May to early June and is considered to be one of the most diversified festivals in Europe.

The events featured include operas, chamber, orchestral and choral concerts, Jazz performances, art exhibitions, fringe events, lectures and discussions.

The repertoire is equally varied, featuring some of the earliest-known pieces of classical music to contemporary and modern works.

There are usually five events held every day, which means that a number of venues are used, including the Assembly Rooms, the Guildhall, Christ Church, Wells Cathedral, the Pulp Room, the Theatre Royal, and many others.
