To celebrate it's tenth year, Songfest 2026 is opening up to whole classes, giving more children than ever the chance to take part in this much-loved event. Over 2,800 young singers from across Cornwall will come together to fill venues with music, energy and joy.

Led by Angela Renshaw and Patrick Bailey, schools will learn specially arranged songs by Emily Barden (Sing Up), known for her uplifting and memorable music that teachers and pupils love.

There are six events across three venues to choose from:

  • St John’s Hall, Penzance – Wednesday 11 March, 11:15am & 2pm
  • Sterts, Liskeard – Wednesday 25 March, 11:15am & 2pm
  • Hall for Cornwall, Truro – Tuesday 31 March, 11:15am & 2pm

Registration costs £95 per school class and includes access to full teaching resources, CPD sessions, an in-school visit from the Songfest team and post-event materials to help schools celebrate their performances back home.

Places are always popular, so schools are encouraged to register early to secure their preferred venue and date.
