The Maldon Festival

The Maldon Festival brings art and music events to audiences from across Essex, with concerts and events staged in and around the town of Maldon.

This year, the Maldon Festival will return in September, promising an unforgettable celebration of music, arts and culture.

Taking place across multiple venues in Maldon, it will also align with Heritage Open Days and The Maldon Art Trail.

The 2026 event promises a revitalised programme featuring classical concerts, contemporary performances and more.
