The Wirral Festival of Music, Speech and Drama 2018
Published on 11-11-2017 10:36AM
The Wirral Festival of Music, Speech and Drama started life in 1949 as the Bromborough Festival. At this time Wirral was home to a number of competitive performance festivals including the Wallasey Music Festival and the Pensby Festival but over time these others have faded into history, leaving Bromborough, as the lone survivor. Bromborough Festival adopted the mantle of the Wirral Festival in 2003 to better reflect .
