Taking place in 2025, the very first Solihull Choir Festival was a joyful celebration of music, community, and inclusion. Across three unforgettable days, 27th to 29th June, we welcomed 15 schools and 25 choirs to the stage, showcasing a rich variety of styles from pop, gospel, and musical theatre to church music and Makaton-led performances. In total, 1,268 singers, aged 8 to 82, brought Touchwoods' Theatre Square to life, filling the space with joy and energy.

The festival embodied an inclusive ethos, with standout performances from groups such as SoLO Choir, Solihull Music Inclusive Choir, and Chelmsley Wood’s Wellbeing Choir. Over 3,000 audience members joined us to share in the experience, with 283 people taking part in our free workshops and 43 attendees connected at our networking event, helping to grow and strengthen the local choral community.
