What can I say about MMitD 2023? The festival was back at full strength, with its highest ever attendance and a packed programme. The theme was ‘Transitions: The Fifteenth Century”. Oh, and the weather was amazing too! Of course, theEnglish complained about it being too hot…
Our archive for this year focuses on the Castle Stages and informal music-making, which is such an important part of our festival.
