DramFest 2026 will take place on the weekend of 25 & 26 April.
The festival is a way of giving the drama and public speaking students an opportunity to perform in front of an audience. The many competitions allow parents and friends to come and see what the students have been working on throughout the year and showcase their fantastic talents. We are looking forward to seeing you there.
