The Sydmonton Festival is a Summer arts festival held periodically at Andrew’s Hampshire country house, Sydmonton Court, where a variety of exclusive previews are presented to a private audience of people from theatre, television and film in order to gauge the future potential of the works. Performances take place in a deconsecrated church in the grounds and include some of the finest entertainment talents.
