There are five entries in the 2024 Radio Play Festival, and details can be found on the Festivals page.

The 2024 Annual General Meeting was held online on 19th October, and ten societies attended. The Committee was re-elected, and there was discussion about the future of festivals, including the need for more proactive encouragement and education for radio plays, and the possibility of running a festival for musicals or pantomimes.

Details of the 2025 Full Length Play Festival, to be adjudicated by an adjudicator new to us - Jack Davidson - will be sent to societies soon. We need a venue for the Awards Evening, and would like to hear from any society which might be prepared to host this - in any format.


There were 14 entries in the 2024 Full Length Play Festival.
The overall winner was Masquerade, for their production of Oil by Ella Hickson.

The Kent Drama Association was established in 1935, to help amateur drama societies in Kent. We run a Full-Length Play Festival each year, and help societies to publicise their productions and to share useful information.
