Carillon Music Festivals

Our festivals and events are an international gathering point for enthusiasts and professional musicians alike. Founded and run by husband and wife team John and Jackie Romero, Carillon Festivals has been organising musical breaks for well over ten years. With professional concerts and informal sessions from top musicians alongside exhibitions from leading music shops and manufacturers, our festivals always offer the highest quality entertainment. Whether you play or would just like to spend a few days in the company of like minded people, the unique, friendly and bubbly atmosphere of our festivals really has to be experienced first hand.

Keyboard and Organ Festivals. Four days of good company and excellent music in a friendly atmosphere. Our programmes include concerts by leading British musicians (please see festival details for artist list). You will also get the rare chance to hear these musicians jam together in several open sessions. In addition to our concerts we also hold Charity Raffles, Quizzes and Seminars on a number of musical subjects for both beginner and advanced musicians. See our next O&K festival programme here

Accordion Festivals. Four days of music the way only accordion players know how. Our programmes include concerts by leading musicians such as (please see festival details for artist list). We will of course have a full supporting cast of displays.

The Cumberland Hotel Eastbourne. Next years autumn weekend festivals will see us back at this popular hotel after a four year break. Although the atmosphere of the quality three star hotel has not changed the building has had many upgrades since 2008 as well as a major change in its management team. So consequently and following many requests from our guests we are greatly looking forward to our return to this great venue with a fabulous line of artistes.

The Cumberland is one of Eastbourne's premier hotels, it has a wonderful position on the seafront opposite the bandstand as it overlooks the flower-decked promenade and the English Channel. The comfortable lounges and Wordsworth Restaurant have breathtaking sea views whilst the 71 en-suite bedrooms are tastefully furnished with television, radio, direct dial telephone and tea and coffee making facilities. It is a slightly bigger hotel than our previous venue and can offer more bedrooms, seat more people comfortably in the dining room and has a bigger ballroom with a larger dance floor area. There are are a number of other facilities that we have not been offered before with the ballroom having its own bar, usable balconies in some rooms.
