Welcome our Website for our 2025 Festival

We ae currently working on the details of our 2025 festival – the information here should only be treated as a guide until it is finalised, sometime in October 2024.

Please note that we will be introducing a modified marking scheme, in accordance with the recommendations of the The British and International Federation of Festivals for Music, Dance and Speech, of which we are a member. Details of the scheme can be found here.

SOUTH STREET BAPTIST CHURCH, EXETER

We hope you will find this website easy to use – if you experience any problems, do contact our Web Editor  (webeditdpaforguk)  .

We welcome participants of all ages !

Like other festivals who are members of BIFFMDS, we provide the opportunity to perform your chosen performing art before an audience and a highly skilled and experienced Adjudicator. Most classes may be entered competitively, but non-competitive entries are welcomed too. Many classes have trophies for the winners.

More details of the festival are available under About on the menu above.
