2020 DEVIZES EISTEDDFOD CANCELLEDIt is with great regret that we have decided to cancel the Music, Speech, Drama and Pre-adjudicated classes for this year's Eisteddfod in November. With the social distancing requirements in place, and other pressures which will be on the schools, their staff and pupils at this time, it was felt that holding the festival this year was not going to be appropriate.The Eisteddfod will be back on 18 to 20 November 2021.The Showcase Concerts planned for 12 September (St.Peter's Church, Marlborough) and 16 October (Bishops Cannings Church) have also been cancelled.Dance classes are still currently planned to go ahead on their new dates of 6 and 7 February 2021 at Lavington School, Market Lavington. We hope to see you all again in 2021 and in the meantime our best wishes for you, your friends, and families.
