Welcome to HPA Fest 2026!
Saturday 28th February - Sunday 22nd March
Hello Festival Participants and Supporters!
HPA Fest has taken many hours of meticulous planning, on behalf of everyone at Encore I would like to pass on my personal thanks to all of the volunteers on the Festival Committee and our Coordinators who have taken time out of their busy schedules to help us produce what promises to be an exciting and rewarding Festival of Music, Dance, Speech and Drama.
We look forward to welcoming all participants and spectators at the events over the coming weeks.
We have been working hard to get the programmes ready for the HPA FEST 2026; there may be further changes to the timings as we adjust them as entrants withdraw etc so we will keep them updated until 48 hours before each discipline if necessary.
Tickets
Tickets for the HPA Fest 2026, will be on sale at the door of each venue and the cost is £5.00 per person
If there are any issues please contact us via email:
We look forward to seeing you there!
