Message from our Festival Director for 2026

 A message from our Festival Director, Verity Mitchell

Well here we are again friends! June is well underway and we're making the final preparations for the 2026 Hunstanton One-Act Drama Festival.

Firstly, a big thank you to all our wonderful amateur drama groups for keeping faith with the Hunstanton festival in the face of some fairly stiff challenges. You can see the full programme by clicking here.

Secondly, huge thanks to Hunstanton Town Council who have generously allowed us to use their Theatre Stage in the Town Hall, Hunstanton Rotary who are sponsoring our Festival programme and KL1 Radio who are happy to promote the event for us. We couldn't do this without you!

So with the support of our sponsors, we have been able to  keep tickets to 2025 prices; just £7.50 for a single session or £20 for a season ticket which gives you access to all 12 (or as many as you choose) sessions over the three days including Sunday evening’s Gala Award Ceremony. You can buy your tickets online here, in person from our High Street bookshop 'by the book' (Weds - Sun) or if you prefer, just pay on the door on the night.

Lastly, I will echo the sentiments of Sir Stephen Fry who opened the Festival last year; in a world of ever-more sophisticated technology, live theatre is truly real (no fakes here) and we should encourage and support it wherever and whenever we can. I hope you will be able to find time to come along and enjoy the wonderful plays on offer at this years Hunstanton One-Act Drama Festival and support your local groups.

We look forward to welcoming you to Hunstanton for this year's event.
