Grand Northern Ukulele Festival

The unwavering adoration of the ukulele, its beautiful music, and those who play it is the background of the creation of the Grand Northern Ukulele Festival in 2013. This festival strives to offer so much more than just these elements though - before this festival, there were very few events for northern UK residents; this festival wanted everyone up north to have access to a top-quality event too, specifically regarding the ukulele!

Since 2015, this festival has been lucky to call the Lawrence Batley Theatre its home. Huddersfield is an ideal location for Grand Nothern Ukulele Festival - it's a vibrant town full of local music and culture with plenty of fascinating history and prospects ahead!

This celebration seeks to bring more music and artistry to the North, nurture promising talents in the UK, and promote the highest quality of ukulele-based arts & music worldwide. Music, artwork, and community all focus on this simple instrument—the ukulele!

On June 16th-18th, 2023, come to Huddersfield and experience three days of joyous celebration as the best ukulele talent from around the world gathers together. A weekend of unforgettable performances, workshops, collaboration opportunities, and musical merriment! This festival can't wait to bring you this incredible event with awe-inspiring artists that will make your heart soar. Get ready for a fantastic few days - mark the date now!
