Midsummer Festival 2026

This festival is one of the highlights of the year at Michael Hall and is an opportunity for families, friends and old scholars to come together with the whole school community. 

Throughout the day the school grounds will be open to explore, with something to delight visitors of all ages. Watch the Lower School pageant, browse exhibitions of students' work, try your hand at the side shows, and soak up the atmosphere with strawberries and cream teas on the Mansion Terrace.

This year there will also be a special one-off Drama exhibition celebrating the productions of Daniele Gaillemin, featuring an abundance of photographs, programmes and costumes on display in the Great Hall, Mansion.

Angela Davis, Sarah Horsfall, Dawn Brend and Annabelle Davis have been working through the collection, kindly passed on by Aloyse, Josh and Olivier from Danielle's home at Butler's Gate cottage, following her move to a care home at the end of 2025. It will be a wonderful trip down memory lane for many of us and a tribute to her remarkable contribution to the school, and thanks to all others also involved in these professional productions. 

In the evening, there will be a performance of Crazy For You — Youth Edition, the Midsummer Musical performed by Classes 9 and 11. 

We look forward to welcoming you.
