The Little Missenden Festival has a tradition of high-quality music-making in a unique village setting. Most events take place in the ancient village church of St John the Baptist, a small Saxon-cum-Norman building enriched with 12th-17th century wall paintings, dominated by a famous St Christopher. This lovely building has a fine immediate acoustic, and music heard at this intimate range has real
impact and presence. The small and unspoilt village is in beautiful Chiltern countryside. The Festival features promising young talents as well as nationally and internationally famous artists and composers. The programme ranges from classic masterworks through less familiar (but not less intriguing) territory. It includes something for all – early, baroque, classical and contemporary music rub shoulders with jazz, folk music, art lectures, poetry and children's events.
