about us

We hold our Festival in March, usually in Greenmount, Bury. Keep checking back for latest dates. Our event runs for 1 or 2 days, depending on the number of entrants and is open to everyone. To find out all of the details, download our Syllabus here.

Our Aim

We aim to provide musicians of all ages the opportunity to play / sing and to receive top quality adjudication on their performance from highly qualified professional adjudicators. We do so in a relaxed and friendly environment, as we believe everyone should find music an enjoyable experience.

Our Values

We have been running the Festival for over 30 years. During that period we have had thousands of performers attend our events, and many have gone on to have successful musical careers. The vast majority of performers, however, have done so for the fun of it. And that, to us, is everything. Music is about pleasure and sharing.

"We've always found the process of entering and performing at RMF very easy - it is a relaxed and friendly event and an ideal first step into the world of Music Festival performing"
