TWO MOORS FESTIVAL LIMITED

Charity Number: 1095723

TWO MOORS FESTIVAL LIMITED is a UK charity that operates the Two Moors Festival, an annual classical music event held across Dartmoor and Exmoor in the counties of Devon and Somerset, England. It is notable for covering the largest geographic area of any UK festival.

History

The festival was established in 2001, following the UK's foot-and-mouth disease outbreak, which had significantly impacted rural areas. The event was designed to bring cultural enrichment and encourage visitors to return to these areas. Over the years, it has grown into a major cultural event, featuring a variety of classical music performances.

Programmes and Activities

  • Concerts: The festival hosts a series of concerts at multiple venues across Dartmoor and Exmoor, showcasing a diverse range of classical music talent.
  • Educational Initiatives: The organisation offers school workshops and a residency programme, aimed at promoting musical education and appreciation among local communities.
  • Notable Performances: Past festival programmes have included performances by esteemed ensembles such as the Carducci String Quartet and the Gildas Quartet.

Challenges and Philanthropy

Despite occasional challenges, such as a significant incident in 2007 where a valuable piano was damaged during delivery, the festival has continued to thrive with support from sponsors and the community. In 2007, the makers of the damaged piano provided a replacement for future events. In 2016, a fire at one of the scheduled venues, the Royal Clarence Hotel in Exeter, led to the cancellation of a planned fundraising event.

Mission

TWO MOORS FESTIVAL LIMITED is dedicated to fostering a love for classical music and enriching the cultural landscape of the South West of England. Through its extensive geographic reach and diverse programming, the festival plays a significant role in promoting arts education and community engagement in rural areas.
