Following the resignation of the Dartington Music Summer School and Festival team last month, Dartington International Summer School Foundation, the charity behind the summer school, has today announced that a new home has been found for the school and festival in 2024. The move follows the launch of a petition to save the school which has gained over 5,000 signatures.

The event, which has been held at Dartington Hall in Devon since 1953, will move to Norfolk for its 2024 edition, held at Gresham’s School in Holt, which counts Benjamin Britten among its former students. Set to run from 27 July to 10 August 2024, the programme for the relocated event will be announced by the end of November and booking will open at the start of December.
