Salisbury Musick is a three day festival, celebrating early music.  The inaugural festival was held on October 3rd to 5th, 2025 and what a great weekend we had!  In the eighteenth century, three day festivals of music were held annually in Salisbury to great acclaim and we have had the same response to this exciting new venture.  As in the 18th century, Salisbury Musick brought together local musicians and visiting experts to provide a wonderful range of concerts, talks and educational opportunities for all ages. 

SAVE THE DATE!  So many people expressed a wish that this would become an annual event that we have decided to organise another festival in 2026.  Do keep October 2nd to 4th free in your diary!  If you are interested in keeping up to date with our plans, please sign up for our mailing list.  

For a flavour of 2025, watch for photos coming soon. 

Margaret Faultless, Patron of the festival, is renowned as an expert on historical performance practice, performing both as a violinist and director.  She is extensively involved in educational projects and often brings her group 'Music for Awhile' to Salisbury. She writes: 'I am thrilled to support this exciting development in early music opportunities for performances and audiences in Salisbury. Rich in its own history, the city will be a wonderful home to Salisbury Musick.  The performances of such engaging, accessible music will provide something special for everyone. Come and discover this for yourself!'

The festival is grateful for support from our festival partner, On Foot Holidays, and a number of other generous donors, including:
