The Tunbridge Wells International Music Competition is a prestigious music competition, hosted every two years by Mayfield Festival and Mayfield School, which provides a platform for outstanding young musicians (16-27) from all over the world. We’re looking for more people to get involved, so please spread the word.
Come and hear the Competition!
Put Friday 1 to Monday 4 May 2026 in your diary: you can drop in for a few hours or join us for 4 days of amazing music. Bookings open from January 2026 at www.mayfieldfestival.co.uk.
Host a Competitor
Do you have the space to host a Competitor for a few nights during the Competition? Our hosts love the experience of connecting with these inspiring young musicians, and get free entry to all rounds of the Competition. Find out more by emailing Nicky at hosts@twimc.org.uk.
