## **TOWCESTER MIDSUMMER MUSIC FESTIVAL** 

## **Registered Charity Number 1174494** 

## **ANNUAL REPORT  -  2021** 

The objectives of Towcester Midsummer Music Festival are. 

1. The advancement of the arts for the public benefit, in particular through the organisation and delivery of an annual music festival in the town. 

2. To further such exclusively charitable purposes for the public benefit as the trustees in their absolute discretion shall think fit from time to time, in particular through the making of grants and donations. 

As in the previous two years, COVID-19 caused the festival to be cancelled but the staff at Towcester Town Hall again produced a “Virtual” festival which was very well received by the public.    All parties involved felt it important that the festival continued in some form or another, in order that public interest be maintained for when circumstances allow the full event to again take place. 

Despite the lack of income, the Trustees decided to make a donation of £1000 from current funds to the Town Mayor’s Charity which was for Macmillan Cancer Support. 

To date, three meetings of the committee have been held to organize the 2022 Festival which is scheduled to be held on the weekend of the 17[th] to 19[th] June.
