National Drama Festival 2026

Join us for the National Drama Festival this year and enjoy award-winning one-act productions from leading English-speaking amateur theatre groups across Belgium, England, Gibraltar, Guernsey, Scotland and Switzerland.

Whether you’re a performer, director or theatre enthusiast, this is a weekend not to miss.

The 13 short plays (and one full length play) have earned their place by achieving outstanding marks at English-speaking drama festivals over the past 12 months.

Each production will be adjudicated by a GoDA Adjudicator, giving you the chance to hear expert insight into what makes them the very best of the season.

Watch as many as you like, then join the Feedback Forums the following morning to hear the groups and the adjudicator discuss what they did, how they did it and why it worked. And if that’s not enough, there are workshops on selecting plays, directing, playwriting and stage combat on Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning.
