Big Give 2026! Help inspire the next generation of musicians 🎻

This year, Hatfield House Music Festival is taking part in the Big Give Arts for Impact campaign, raising funds for a special Learning & Participation project for local schools in Hertfordshire.

John Dowland, one of England’s greatest composers, had historic links with Hatfield House. In 2026, the 400th anniversary of his death offers a special moment to celebrate his music and introduce it to a new generation.

Professional musicians will work with 120 primary school pupils, helping them compose their own original music inspired by Dowland’s works. The project will culminate in a live performance at the Festival, where the children will hear their music brought to life.

At a time when opportunities for music-making in schools are becoming increasingly rare, your support can help young people create, perform, and discover the joy of music.

Every donation through the Big Give will help bring this project to life and what’s more, your donation will be doubled!

https://donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05WS00000AqHTdYAN

Discover the impact these projects can have in this clip from our 2025 workshops at Howe Dell Primary School.
