Bangor and Ards Drama Festival Committee is a committee of volunteers who have organised 2 festivals each year since 1948; a full length play festival in March and a one act play festival in November. Amateur drama groups compete for awards and points towards the Ulster Drama Finals and All Ireland Drama Finals (full length) and the Northern Ireland Finals and British Finals (One Act). We are one of around 40 festivals in Ireland and are affiliated to a number of drama organisations -
The Amateur Drama Council of Ireland - www.adci.ie
The Association of Ulster Drama Festivals - www.audf.org
The National Drama Festival Association - www.ndfa.org.uk
These websites provide more information about the festival circuit.
Booking for our festivals is through the Web Theatre box office and usually opens a few weeks before each festival. Outside these times we can be cotacted on Facebook or by emailing the secretary at the address below.
The Festival is supported by Ards Arts Committee and Ards Borough Council.
