​CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE
Warm greetings to you all.   ​
The 2026 Festival is behind us now, and we can look back on another memorable few weeks of many fine performances in music, speech and drama, with some unforgettable moments. 
However, before we turn our thoughts to planning next year's Festival there is one event that we are particularly looking forward to - The Coulsdon and Purley Festival Showcase Concert. This will be a celebration of some of the finest performers in this year's Festival, who are coming together in a concert at the Sanderstead United Reformed Church on September 27th at 3.00 pm. This promises to be a wonderful concert with something for everyone to enjoy. Light refreshments will be available. Tell your friends, and come and enjoy a really special occasion. 
See you there!
