District 2 IAPS Festival of Singing 2026 
Welcome
District 2 is delighted to be hosting two celebratory singing events at Rochester Cathedral on Monday 11 May, and at Benenden Centenary Hall on Tuesday 12 May.
The talented children taking part are pupils from IAPS member schools across our Kent district, and we are proud to support the district in delivering these special occasions.
Your child has been invited to participate, and we hope you are able to attend to see them perform. Tickets for both events can be purchased here. As seats are limited and there are a large number of participants, we advise you to purchase tickets early if you are keen to attend. Any remaining seats will be released closer to the event dates.
While these events are primarily a celebration of music within IAPS schools, they will also help raise funds for the IAPS Charitable Trust, iTrust, which supports educational initiatives in member schools at early, primary, and middle school level both in the UK and overseas.
Ticket prices
£13.00 per ticket
£5.00 per ticket for restricted view (Rochester Cathedral only)

Please note: Due to limited capacity, there is a maximum of 2 tickets per family at both venues. From Monday 20 April, this cap will be lifted and families will be able to purchase additional tickets without restriction.
