The Tilford Bach Festival is an annual celebration of the works of Johann Sebastian Bach.  We are proud that in 2026 we will be celebrating our 74th anniversary.

Our aim has always been to attract the very best of British and international musicians and performers while also promoting young talent at the start their music careers.

The Festival is traditionally held in All Saint’s Tilford, a beautiful Victorian church set on the village green and cricket ground in an area of outstanding natural beauty on the Surrey and Hampshire border. It has a unique and relaxed atmosphere where we encourage performers to meet and mix with the audience during intervals and after each concert or recital.

Food and drink are to be found at the local pub and café on the other side of the green, and walks along the areas nearby such as the river or in the areas used in films such as Gladiator, Robin Hood, Skyfall, Napoleon, Harry Potter, so those of a more adventurous nature can stretch their legs before coming to the festival.

Sponsorship and Membership

The Tilford Bach Festival is a unique and very personal event and our church, although beautiful, is small and therefore ticket sales will never be sufficient to cover costs. We rely on sponsorship to secure the very highest quality programme possible each festival. To those already supporting the festival - a very big thank you as without you, we would not be here!
