- Social gatherings and networking with fellow recorder enthusiasts
- Instrument exhibition – browse, try and buy from leading makers and suppliers
- Fringe performances across the weekend
The list of performers, conductors and tutors will include a who's-who of the recorder scene in the UK and further afield, including performances from BLOCK4 (featuring Sarah Jeffery), Fontanella Recorder Quartet, and tutors to include Kate Allsop, Rebecca Austen-Brown, Heidi Fardell, Sarah Jeffery, Laura Justice, Annabel Knight, Miriam Monaghan, Chris Orton, and more!
