The competition aims to use the music festival as a reason to increase footfall in the town, celebrate the wonderful music-making on offer during the festival, and raise much-needed funds for St Mary’s Primary School in Tetbury to enhance their music provision. 

​

Entrants will decorate their window so as to reflect some aspect of the Tetbury Music Festival.

Acclaimed interior designer, television star and music lover Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen will judge the competition and crown the victor.

​

The displays will be available to view from Monday 23 September to Sunday 6 October.  Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen will visit Tetbury, judge and announce the winner on Thursday 26 September.

Festival Director Caz Weller Knight comments, “This competition is a wonderful opportunity for the community to come together, support our local businesses, and celebrate the rich musical heritage of Tetbury. We are especially pleased to contribute to St Mary's Primary School's music programme, fostering the next generation of local musical talent.  We are extremely grateful to Laurence LLewelyn-Bowen for making the time in his busy diary to lend his support.”

Known for its charming streets and as a haven for antiques hunters, Tetbury boasts a wealth of outstanding independent shops and businesses. Tetbury is home to the historic parish church of St Marys', where the majority of Tetbury Music Festival’s concerts are held by candlelight. The church, an early example of Georgian Gothic architecture, offers a sublime setting for musical performances, with its elegant columns and floating candelabra enhancing the atmosphere. Many of the Festival's concerts have been recorded by BBC Radio 3, attesting to its excellent acoustics. The festival is supported by its Patron, His Majesty King Charles III, whose Cotswolds home, Highgrove is nearby. 

​

Highlights of this year’s festival include world-class artists such as guitarist Craig Ogden, pianist Imogen Cooper, Polyphony and Stephen Layton; the world premiere of a new work by Gary Carpenter, performed by bassoonist Amy Harman and Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective; and the much anticipated reunion of violinist Vilde Frang and Arcangelo, conducted by Festival Artistic Director Jonathan Cohen. A comprehensive series of lectures and interviews will complement the live music programme and offer unique insights into the performances. ​
