Music Festival benefits from councillor grant

Hertfordshire Festival of Music has been granted £500 from the county council's Locality Budget scheme.

Councillor Ben Crystal, who represents the Hertford All Saints division, has given the money to help support five of the 2025 Hertfordshire Festival of Music Events, all of which will be held in All Saints' Church, Hertford.

The financial support will contribute towards the costs of the artists, venue and music hire.

The annual festival is in its 9th year and the theme for 2025 is Shadows to Light: Musical Journeys in Conflict & Peace.

I'm delighted to support the Hertfordshire Festival of Music and the broad cultural programme that it brings to the community.
