The Wensleydale Tournament of Song is a tradition for a lot of families and schools but it would not be able to take place if it wasn't for the generous support we receive from volunteers.  It takes a full year to plan and organise the fortnight and the Tournament committee are already planning next year but for the fortnight of the actual tournament we are very lucky to have the help of many local people who become our door stewards, platform stewards etc and a big thankyou must go to them.

The Methodist Church Hall in Leyburn is often full during the Wensleydale Tournament of Song

Marie Dixon enjoys an impromptu workshop with those from the Wensleydale School who took part in the dramatic group speaking class.

Michael Hancock talks to some of the school children who were eager to learn more about music-making.

If you have never heard of our tournament before and wonder what it's all about please browse the syllabus it is full of information about the classes available for you to enter and if you don't fancy entering then it is a fantastic fortnight and the best value for money entertainment.
