UPDATE 02/09/25:
We still have ongoing payment issues with our third-party payment provider (PayPal).
BUT:
Entries can now be submitted and paid for by bank transfer.
Thank you for your patience whilst we have organised this workaround,
The Festival Volunteer Team.
We will advertise the re-opening of the online entries system on our Latest News page, on X, and on Meta.
We are aware of payment issues and are working hard with our third-party payment provider (PayPal) so we ask that you kindly check her, FB, or twitter to find out when this issue has been resolved. We are not wanting to take BACS payments, so please bear with us.
Thank you for your patience,
The Volunteer Festival Team.

See you in November!
We are delighted to announce that Julie Williams is the new Music
Chair of the Royal Wootton Bassett Arts Festival. Julie’s background is in music where she had a career as a professional singer. She opened her own Performing Arts School in 1993, because she believes in nurturing those with talent to further their experience within the arts. Julie is really enthusiastic about working with everyone at the committee, and we are delighted to welcome her on board in her new role.
We are delighted to reveal our brand new syllabus for this year’s RWB Arts Festival.
Do please have a look and share with your network. We look forward to welcoming you in November this year.
Our annual Highlights Concert and award ceremony is a celebration of the most interesting, vibrant, promising, and talented entrants from the Festival each year.
