“As well as tickets, festival goers will be able to purchase the souvenir programme from the end of June, and also redeem their pre-paid vouchers if they have already purchased them.”

Petworth Festival has been celebrating the very best in classical and choral music, jazz, comedy and theatre for the past 36 years.”

“Founded by composer Robert Walker, it is to this day spearheaded by Lord and Lady Egremont of Petworth House,” Kate said. “Its smaller, but no-less-important event, the Petworth Literary Weekend, has been running for four years and gives audiences a chance to hear some of the UK’s favourite authors and poets talking about their work, giving readings and signing books.”
