BryFest

Please join us to celebrate the return of BryFest

BryFest promises an exciting week of events, taking place from Monday 30 June to Friday 4 July, in the run up to Speech Day. Parents are invited to join us in celebration of the limitless creativity and performance here at Bryanston.

Speakeasy Dance Show
Tuesday 1 July (8.15pm) and Thursday 3 July (8.45pm), Blue Hall – Sports Centre

Come and join us at the Bryanston ‘Speakeasy’ for an evening of dance, music, and live vocals.

Twelfth Night
Thursday 3 July (6.30pm) and Friday 4 July (7pm), Coade Hall

Directed by Head of Academic Drama Lucy Bowerman-Ellis, Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night is reimagined for a 21st Century audience.

  • After a drink-spiking incident separates her from her twin Sebastian, Viola wakes up alone at the wild Illyria music festival.
  • To stay safe, she disguises herself as “Cesario” and lands a job with Orsino, the fierce and charismatic festival organiser.
  • Orsino’s in love with pop sensation Olivia — who quickly falls for Cesario, unaware she’s really Viola.
  • Backstage chaos erupts with mistaken identities, a prank on the uptight Malvolia, and Sebastian’s unexpected return.
    As the final act hits the stage, truths are revealed and love finds its rhythm under the festival lights.

Please note, no tickets are required for either performance but please can we kindly request that you complete this response form so that we can gauge attendance numbers.

House Athletics
Friday 4 July (2pm)

You’re invited to join us for our House Athletics. This is the culmination of the 2024/25 sporting calendar at Bryanston and competition between houses will be fierce, fast but fun! Pupils from all year groups will be competing against each other across both track and field events.

Bryanston Parents’ Association (BPA) will be present at House Athletics and warmly welcomes all parents to join them field-side to spectate. You’re very welcome to bring a picnic and make an afternoon of this (starts at 2pm, ends at 4.30pm).

Please can we kindly request that you complete this response form so that we can gauge attendance numbers.

The Annual D&T Exhibition provides an opportunity for pupils to demonstrate their designing creativity and practical skill. On display will be a wide variety of D-A2 project work, including this year’s Greenpower Racing Cars.
